Um.. twenty something New Yorker (temporarily trapped in CT) interested in lots of things. I'm a fan of music, things off the beaten path, science, good people, laughing and having a good 'ole time. I'm sure you can get an idea from everything I've 'liked' Thanks for visiting. Hope you enjoy or find something of interest.

Hmm well, I suppose this is the first post to my stumbleupon blog.
Wundebar!

I think that I shall start with a gripe b/c what better way is there?

My gripe is this: only 127 choices can be chosen as interests on Stumbleupon.

This I find to be SHOCKING! I am someone who has an interest in a VAST number of things. I like everything from to writing poetry to Ancient Civilizations, to the latest technologies or scientific advances. I find myself having to prioritize my interests in order to make sure I have checked those I feel really are my 127 MOST favorite interests.

Who's to say that I like rock music more than Punk rock. What if I like both music genres equally? But nooo, upon redo-ing my interests I am prompted with this god awful box "ERR. only 127 choices may be selected ... WTF ! Now, I have to go through ALL 127 interests and think about which ones are waning in my interest pool. Also I take into account whether I've stumbled upon sites in that category I enjoyed or if they bored me.

I believe recently Nanosci has taken a backseat to Oceania (I saw Crocodile Dundee not long ago and made me want to learn more about the Aborigines (I'm unsure whether Australia is part of Oceania but I've always felt it is and so)

Harrowing process really. Then .. when you un-click a choice, there's the consequence of missing out on a cool stumble; your interest just wasn't.. enough. Quite stressful as well, its almost as grave as deleting someone from your contact list :-o

I feel you should choose as many freaking interests 'til your heart's content, so no spark is left behind.

There's got to be a better way.

Anyhoo thanks for reading. Welcome to my thought patterns, they're wicked random, hope you enjoy.
