Confused By Google Wave?

It appears that most people are.  What I'm going to attempt to do for you here is not a review or a how to...  That would be pointless.  It's not a released product yet so it could change drastically and suddenly at any point.  What I shall be doing is giving you my take on what Google Wave is in it's most basic form, what it can be used for and the concept of the wave it's self.

HikiCulture: Bigger Than Jesus?

HikiCulture has been mentioned on quite a few sites; I've seen quite a few mentions ever since the forum received lots of traffic in late October.

Here are three mentions out of the many I've already seen:

Mulimediales Reime-Forum für Kinder

Eitorf - Im Rahmen der Initiative "Ein Netz für Kinder" unterstützt Kulturstaatsminister Bernd Neumann gemeinsam mit dem Bundesfamilienministerium zum siebten Mal Internetangebote für Kinder. Zu den geförderten Projekten zählt auch das interaktive Reime-Forum von Sean Kollak. Mit Reime-Lesungen an Schulen, einem Online-Spiel und Reime-Podcasts soll Reimix noch attraktiver für Kinder ab acht Jahren gemacht werden.

Per Pressemitteilung erklärte Kulturstaatsminister Bernd Neumann vor wenigen Tagen: "Die Schaffung qualitativ hochwertiger Internetangebote ist gerade in unserem digitalen Zeitalter eine unverzichtbare Voraussetzung zur Förderung von Medienkompetenz. Deshalb...

Mikan: New HikiCulture Moderator

I've made the user Mikan a HikiCulture moderator as I feel she will do a great job of moderating.

Mikan is a relatively new forum-user, but I can already tell that she'll make a great staff-member.

Congrats Mikan.

To All Current and Future HikiCulture Members: Create New Topics!

I will start off by saying that I am impressed by how active HikiCulture has become, and how much it has grown since creating it in late July of this year (2009). I initially wasn't sure if the forum would ever get more than twenty members (if that). Secondly, I want to say that the amount of new posts being contributed to the site (on most days) is quite impressive, to say the least.

There is one slight "problem" though - there are far too few threads being created.

Some of the HikiCulture boards have less than ten threads in them. Lots of guests who visit this site probably think that the place is somewhat inactive, or doesn't have much to offer when they see that the place has so few threads to discuss things in, thus preventing them from registering.

If every member could create a couple threads a week, or even a new thread a day (some people on the forums I'm on do this), HikiCulture would really have a lot more to offer and would not feel so banal.

Some members have been fine when it comes to creating new threads, but many have created hardly any, or simply no threads at all -- I am not sure if there's a reason for this, but it's a shame.

Don't be shy to create new threads; doing so will help make HikiCulture a better place with much more to offer.

My New "Moogle" HikiCulture Avatar

I was going through new avatars to use on the HikiCulture forums on a near-daily basis without finding feeling full contentment with any of the ones I had used; today though, I found the perfect one:

I had thought about Final Fantasy whilst daydreaming today; I think it's because I long to play another game from the series. While thinking about Final Fantasy (which I am extremely fond of), I thought of Moogles (the name of the creature from Final Fantasy that is in my avatar.)

I decided to add my HikiCulture user-name "Chair" to the bottom-right corner of the avatar to make it somewhat more unique. The typeface I used for "Chair" is the same font and shade of blue (partially) that I had used for the HikiCulture logo.

My new avatar finally makes me feel contentment.

WrongPlanet Forums

I don't use the forum WrongPlanet anymore, but find it to be one of the best Asperger's forums out there at the present. It's not on par with a couple other Asperger's-related boards that I frequent, but the people there are a lot more caring and supportive than they are on some other boards I've been on.

I decided to type this blog-entry up after pondering all of the present Asperger's forums I know of and realizing that WrongPlanet, even though it has its flaws, is still a somewhat decent Asperger's forum to use.

One thing I recommend is that you stay clear of the Adult Autism Issues & Random Discussion parts of the board since they are loaded with extremely trivial threads (I created some myself back when I used to frequent the site - pretty much everyone there does.)

A Lonely Life Forums

I want to let you people know of a great board that is somewhat similar to HikiCulture; the board is called A Lonely Life.

I don't think that the people at ALonelyLife are quite as reclusive as the people on HikiCulture, but it's still a pretty similar board.
