I'd like to keep tweakifying this, but as a sort of proof of concept it'll do. It could be smoother-running, but the original work itself is a bit "lumpy" considering that the seams are visible between the paper are visible and the color varies, some of that may be smoke damage from the 1650 fire.

The Social Graph is Neither (Pinboard Blog)

"Asking computer nerds to design social software is a little bit like hiring a Mormon bartender. Our industry abounds in people for whom social interaction has always been more of a puzzle to be reverse-engineered than a good time to be had, and the result is these vaguely Martian protocols..."

Thought-provoking and funny article on the failure of social networks to replicate or even closely resemble actual relationships between flesh and blood human beings.
