I read about Reciprocality when I was working at helpdesk at Tennessee Tech years ago (perhaps linked from Slashdot?). It seemed really compelling, and I keep thinking of it from time to time.

I will periodically have thoughts like “what was that thing I read years ago that seemed to explain things and was kind of freaky?” Wikipedia says it verges on pseudoscience.

An article that I saw on Hacker News today reminded me of it.

I haven’t read about it in years, and didn’t re-read the site before posting this, but here it is.

For those that don’t know, I’ve been participating in Whiskerino (a beard growing “competition”) since the beginning of November. Whiskerino has a sister site, Vaginarino, that does parodies / tributes of photos from Whiskerino.

I am very excited that one of my photos got a tribute:

After a discussion with Aaron K, I decided it was time to order some MOO cards as business cards. It’s just too easy, especially with their format guide.
