If you are reading my blog, chances are you are a geek or nerd... well because most of my friends fall into those categories (I should post on what's the difference between nerds and dorks). Also, if you stumbled across my blog, it was probably for some nerdular related post.
If you play MMORPGs (Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Games), you might find this project of interest:

Some tidbits:The Trouble with "Addiction"
The word "addiction" carries with it a great deal of cultural baggage, and deciding whether a novel behavior tied to a novel technology is an "addiction" is anything but a simple matter. And simplistic news reports on the issue oftentimes make it even more difficult to understand the nature of the problem. But I think it is possible to articulate a sensible way of thinking about the issue by taking into account factors that are often not discussed at all.Dealing with Dilemmas
Crises and dilemmas occur a lot in MMOs. Did a player just ninja-loot an item or was it an accident? Should a Priest be allowed to roll for a Warlock set piece? See how players reacted to 3 dilemma scenarios and whether the player's age and gender made a difference.If you are into photography/ digital images and design, here's an interesting website from a UK company:
