After four years, I graduated, at last. I'm very happy that last Lantern Parade is indeed my last (as an undergraduate student of Computer Science, at least). And I'm more than happy to have graduated on time despite more than a few hitches in my trip...more

Tidings of peace, netizen!

No doubt, you came to this website with a mind troubled by the recent news items regarding a certain con artist styling himself as a member of the Old Norse Pantheon (which we, in this age of free flowing information, know are nothing but figments of imagination from men scared of the vast plains before them). Worry not. This website was set-up to aide in the capture (and punishment) of this stuck-up bastard trying to make you believe there is a world other than the Internet.

In these pages you will find the latest files/news items regarding this trickster, ever so increasing in success. The Commission for World Wide (Web) Security has decided that this case is already serious enough, and that keeping these files under the blanket of top-secret information will do nothing but endanger the common netizen. We suggest that you acquaint yourself with the main sections of this website, that you may not fall prey to his con-tricks, and that you may know how to react should you encounter him in cyberspace.

In the meantime, we would like to assure you that everything he is telling you are lies: there is only the Internet and there is no such thing as the Outernet. Whatever life you may find while not facing the fancy representation of binary is not really a life: it is merely a shadow of what computers and The Internet has to offer.

Worry not. We are here, dedicated into keeping this utopia a reality. So keep yourself plugged in tight. Don't worry about bastards claiming to be avatars of non-existent Norse Gods. You may surf cyberspace in peace.

Yours in Friendster/Multiply/Facebook camaraderie,
The Internet Police.

P.S. Netizens, we <3 you 4evah!

And, since I'm such a Sandman fan...

I find myself wondering about humanity. Their attitude to my sister's gift is so strange. Why do they fear the sunless lands? It is as natural to die as it is to be born. But they fear her. Dread her. Feebly attempt to placate her. They do not love her.~Morpheus, the King of Dreams. Neil Gaiman, Preludes and Nocturnes
