High Tech Brain Atrophy

I always thought that web-surfing was an misnamed phrase since it was adapted from the term channel-surfing which implies a mindless, sequential flipping whereas clicking hyper-links is an action with some logic. In addition to the entire interactive quality of reading hypertext, any new pages are in some way related to the page being left.

So here comes Blog Surfer to put the surf back into web-surfing. Est Quod Est has gotten some hits from it, so I wanted to see what it was about. It took me awhile to "get" it, but then I realized that someone took the time to simulate channel-surfing on the web. Don't you just love it.
