I would love for there to be a website devoted to mapping the entire family tree of every living person as far back as we have records to allow us to go. Something of that sort has been on my mind for a long time. If it existed I’d even be willing to help work on the thing.

Granted there are those who would view it as some big evil Orwellian database that tries to keep track of us all and would be against it. But I prefer to think that it might remind us all that we’re all one big family and should totally get along more.

If you woke up tomorrow and you were a foot taller, would you think that you’d grown or that the world had shrunk? I consider this a better test of optimism and pessimism than that half a glass of water question. Or I would, if I knew which answer was optimistic and which was pessimistic.

In other news, Marq has a theory and if we’re lucky we could maybe get Contains2 back online around May-ish. That would be four kinds of alright with me. Everyone don’t hate Marq for a while as a means of thanks.

I’m totally eating dry Cheerios right now. But by the time anyone reads this, I probably won’t be.

I was totally planning to write a story about some guy having a really bad Leap Day, but then I overslept (something like TWELVE HOURS!) and I now have no reason to do that story anymore for Four Years. And by then we’ll be up to our armpits in apocalypses. Oh well, someday I’ll write something about someone who missed out on Leap Day and regrets it.
