Nto goes Meta

For some reason I sometimes do a Google search on 'ntozubod' to see how the meme is developing. My name is getting known mainly to blog-analysis-websites that try to abstract from discussions the 'buzz' that is so important these days.

Nto is becoming more famous for his twitter posts especially ones that refer to buzzy things or people. So here is some meat to chew on, MetaWeb:

Blah blah Britney Spears blah blah Rick Astley blah blah Leo Laporte blah blah Ron Paul blah blah Tibet blah blah Mark Dice blah blah Sharon Stone blah blah Building 7 blah blah Microhoo.

Nto likes Babylon 5

I have learned from Marcus that it is bad to talk of yourself in the third person, so I will try to avoid this pretension. I certainly didn't intend to put on airs.

I discovered Babylon 5 originally when colleagues discussed it enthusiastically around the coffee break table but at the time couldn't commit to a serial because of young children who controlled the television channel. With the DVD set I now have tasted and quickly become addicted to the world of 2258-2262 of future time and the future place of space station Babylon 5.

The story and characters are incredibly well developed and the 110 45-minute programs plus movies mean that this is more a modern novel in video form than a TV program. I really know of nothing to compare with it. Although set in the future, it is as much about now as anything as any roman-a-cle could be. Watching the world politics of 2007 and this story unfold yields some eerie parallels.
