First, a little background. I don’t read much fiction, but when a short story by Cory Doctorow came to my attention, my admiration for such authors and their works has increased. From beginning to end, Doctorow’s engrossing tale of the merging of machine and mind provided a welcome escape from the realities of homework and studies.

Then as I was browsing some random blogs tonight, I came across scamper.org. At first I was impressed by the design, but thought the writing was a little off the wall, and the subtitle “Mining Esoterica” served to confirm the elusive nature of longish prose entries. They seemed real enough at first, the psychotic ramblings of a cubicle-dwelling prisoner, but the more I read the more I wondered how much of this blog was grounded and how much was concocted. Whatever the case may be, there are some clever tales here worth the time they take to read.
