Some Real Food For Thought

Today I visited The Space Turtle, an awesome blog where you can find some interesting stories and funny content that is different from stuff you would find on many other blogs. Since the internet became much more accessible a few years back, people have been creating lots of random sites about stuff they like, don't like, hobbies and whoever knows what else. This means that there's lots of great content floating around out there, and lots of crap too.

The Space Turtle is different from many blogs today in that you can find quality short stories that are guaranteed to make you laugh. For example, I was reading a story on The Space Turtle called "The Killer Coder". It's actually not that long, but it was quite entertaining to read. I love especially the descriptive imagery that the author uses at the beginning of "The Killer Coder". The short story is about a ninja-avatar-hacker menace that infiltrates another computer in a quest for some treasure. The story goes on, describing the ninja's battles and encounters, and finally culminating in an epic battle with a cutlass-wielding pirate. Of course, our ninja-protagonist prevails, and finally claims his prize on the shores of a sandy beach.

One thing that irked me slightly was not knowing what the prize was, but that wasn't too big of a deal; the story was too well written for it to bother me for more than 5 seconds!
