On Manipulation, baby

New games are fun. I now own shares of this,this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. Also, in me.

So, will it drive the prices in unusual ways if I say that I own shares of this,this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, and also, in me.

Is this cheating? If so, perhaps I should stop telling everyone that I own shares of this,this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, and also, in me.
I certainly shouldn't keep writing that I own shares of this,this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, and also, in me.

Should I? If you think I should stop talking about the fact that I own shares of this,this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, and also, in me, then write about it and say so.

Just do it on your page, buddy, I need all the help I can get.

On Creating New Verbs

I've often said that my degree in Creative Writing allows me to create my own words at will. Lots of people try this, but their words aren't REAL words, since they don't have the certification and training that I and others with similar degrees (comparitive literature, English as a second language, engineering, and well, like word-rendering I guess) have got. So my new verb is Enroning.

I recently got listed on Blogshares, the beta version of an online stock trading game in which other people's blogs are the stocks.

I have been intentionally trying to sabotage my own stock price.

This ought to prove a good indicator of whether or not the blogshares market functions like the real market. I am Enroning myself in every way I can think of. I recently performed a leveraged buyout of my own stock and then dumped it back onto the market only a few hours later. ALL of it. This drove my stock price down to 1 cent. HA! If, through creative internet accoutning, aka Enroning, my blog I can crash it's value, I can help the folks at Blogshares perfect their market.

Right?

On Server Migration

It's been a real hassle, but it's fixed, and I am back online. All I keep thinking about is the line from Ghostbusters:

Stantz: "You forget, Peter, I was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration."
Venkman; "Awww, Ray, the sponges migrated about a foot and a half."
