So, if you haven’t tried PMOG, you should check it out. I am playing right now as I type this, you dig? It consists of a Firefox add-on, install it and earn Data Points for each website you surf. Leave crates full of DP on a website for the next visitor or a nasty mine; drop a portal on a website that takes players to a similar site, or a site with the opposite opinion; light a lightpost on a series of websites and create a mission for fellow PMOGers to take.
That’s where PMOG Link Monday comes in, I have learned of some great tools, videos and websites through the game. This is where I pass them on to you.
So, why do I play this strange game anyway? That’s a good question, even one of the players, t-storm, asked that question in a very popular mission. One of the ideas why we play, procrastination & the video example presented in the mission.
How to Fly without ID
After reading Doctorow’s Little Brother, I wanted to burn everything I own, move out into the woods, grow a beard and pray that aliens abduct me so I can get away from my freaky government. The only other option, of course, is to stand up for what you believe. How to Fly without ID is a great tale of how one man stood up for his constitutional rights. Even if you believe that travel should be restricted in this post 9-11 world you should read his story, because you are only as secure as those in charge of your security. Thanks to storyspoiler for the link.
