fuzmeister: Puppet Man

---

I had a sincere concern about the effect Facebook was having on my social relationships and psyche after being an avid user for seven years. I deleted my account today.

I'm sincerely expecting a "withdrawal" type period. No joke.

It's like... anything that becomes habitual can be as addictive as any kind of chemical dependency. That is my belief from my own life experiences, at least.

Watch Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream if you don't believe me.

Mood: Eh

fuzmeister: Firefox 4

---

So the first non-RC/beta Firefox 4 release came out yesterday. I have to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the interface. It reminds me of Chrome's UI for some reason.

Speaking of Chrome, this benchmark I found shows that Chrome is still the fastest browser around.

That still doesn't mean I want to use Chrome. That's actually probably related to the reason why I don't enjoy the new Firefox 4 UI. I'm old-fashioned.

fuzmeister: Do You Realize??

---

I'm about one year and three months or so away from my first Vent post. I believe it was July 4, 2002.

It was amongst the now-deleted posts I removed in 2004. So if you want to get nitpicky, I'm still a few years from my tenth anniversary on Vent.

I don't want to get nitpicky though - not one bit.

Mood: Self-Aware
Music: The Beatles - Birthday

fuzmeister: I'm Torn

---

I really only have Facebook for two reasons:

• I'm afraid I'll completely lose touch with everyone everywhere and have no friends.
  
• I need to maintain the fan page for my music. I use the word fan loosely as most of the people might never listen to my tunes.
  

Honestly, I'm mostly worried about the latter...

I lately keep wondering if I should ditch the service. I feel like it may have a long-term psychological impact on how I deal with relationships with others and information.

I do miss the days of Vent actually being an active community...
