Wolf Can Fly, Too

We are all locked inside an informational shell/bubble.

It's just that some people's shell is bigger than the otheres.

I have been working on a course project for the past few days, and the three hundred lines of codes tought me that it is very easy to lock oneself within a tight little shell without even realizing it. I have rarely speak to anyone, barely interact with anyone in the social sense (buying dinner does not count as "social"), and have not talked to anyone on MSN, at all. It was me, my computer, and my code... and the cups of coffee (btw, Nestcafe tastes great). I don't think I have said more than 5 sentences to my colleague at work in the last two days combined. I don't know how my friends are doing, I don't know if the world economy is about to collapse or not, and I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow (although I do have a weather forecasting program on my computer that I often neglect to use.)

Call it tunnel vision, call it concentration, I felt rather cut-off from the world after spending these days in seclusion, and the side effect is that I have been spending the past few hours catching up with news on New York Times website. At least the world was not about to come to an end without me noticing. The problem is that things are only going to get worse, since I do have another porgram to write that's due in three weeks, this one more complicated than the one I just finished. Well, I'll just have to try my best, I suppose.

Cheers.
