I'd like to meet:
I tend to get along well with marginalized people. I enjoy the company of sincere people who are intelligent but quirky or perhaps eccentric. I don't really care to meet large numbers of online friends who I will never know but through online interaction.
Music:
I listen to a lot of electronic music. I follow British radio on the web from time to time to see what's new. Bit-Torrent is coming into some nice collections of music as well and somewhat bringing albums into the digital form, which is cool. I'm very big into the merger of post-rave culture and indie-rock right now. It's kind of a cool time to be alive and experiencing everything that's going on in music right now. Go to a festival!!! There are some good ones out there that won't last forever!

Television:
ACTLAB TV-- It's Smothered in Awesomeness -- Coming Soon!!!
I don't have a TV because all the commercials coupled with a fair percentage of the programs are just plain mind-numbing. It hurts! And so I end up watching streaming services on the web. They're better than cable!
Books:
All the books that I've read have led me to the conclusion that no one reads books anymore. Publishing books was once a great power of controlling information in society, but now no one cares. Video is now the primary mode that people are attuned to receive.
