Great, although could I play Devil's advocate on this? There are some folks who never have the ability to live this kind of dream, those who physically or mentally do not have the capacity to follow these ideals through. Think of those trapped in dead-end jobs in towns with no other...

Hmmm, it's interesting how these pockets exist, whether they're small towns or just created inside football games. Pockets of goodness... (I'm looking at you, Austin)

Ok seriously, no politics (you'll be wanting to delete that second to last paragraph then, the one consisting entirely of vitriolic tea party-esque rantings...)

Ok, fair enough - we don't all assume your country is a hotbed of seething nationalism, though I realise there are pockets (the South, the Centre... :) ) I should point out I had nothing but warmhearted welcomes from your countrymen during my visit, more than I can say for parts of my own...

Ok, I'm genuinely curious - as a Brit, it seems the flag-waving, patriotic hoo-hah stuff from that side of the pond is everywhere - is this true? I spent a few months in the states but never saw much of this sort of thing, so is it confined to games / schools / camp America? Are there many...

Porphyrogenitus - you're right, it's not for everyone, just as not everyone would divide the world into masters and servants based on computing habits (nor would they choose to be on the side of the equation you clearly think you are). I'm curious too: are you so virulently anti-global warming...

I'm really not sure about the initial premise here. If you're really 'wasting' so much time turning on your computer, then a few questions seem relevant: - how bloated is your windows that it can take 5 mins to do a full boot? - do you really need to login to everything? [On my machine it's...

Speculative time travel quiz: you go back in time but realise you can only invest in one technology before being dragged back to the present. Do you go for Google / Apple stock when it's just released, or Bitcoin from the word go? I suspect BC would pay off better, but I'll defer to anybody who...

Try covering it in fox poo; if anyone's willing to try after that, they're welcome to whatever secrets I've left lying around. [It is, to date, the most noxiously vile smelling substance I've encountered in my life - kind of like being punched in the nose with faeces.]

Bloc Party - this modern love (:

Ah, so much negativity for my beloved country, and so much of it coming from us Brits... Yes, we have poor weather but we're an island - we also have some of the finest coastlines in the world, which is kind of a fair trade. Our food has got a lot better, our ladies are beautiful (when not...

Thanks guys - I'm having a few problems with enabling this, the authorship testing page sas it's not working even though I have it connected up (apparently successfully) through the jetpack plugin. Anyone had the same problem?

I think there's no problem making it a pic of me / hot chick in glasses, I just wondered. I'm going to experiment with this, connect it to see if it makes a difference and maybe stalk some folks in the porn world and see if they'll follow me. I might not use the word 'stalk', though.

Hot chick with glasses, check (: Zidane - there's decent evidence for improving your ctr with authorship, so I would assume it applies (to some extent) on porn too. By the by, doesnanyone know if it absolutely has to be a photo? Can I do a logo of some kind for the pic?

Hi there - I've got a site of an adult nature that I'd like to link to Google through authorship. I realise there may not be any direct SEO benefits but as I'm white-hatting this all the way I see no reason why not. Are there any disadvantages? Is it possible Google wouldn't like this for some...
