World without oil?

Look out for an online alternate reality game with an ecological twist, World Without Oil, starting April 30th. Writerguy, who created the game says: “World Without Oil is the first major project to invite the Internet’s staggering collective intelligence and imagination to address a real world problem: a realistic global oil shock. The game for the public good begins April 30. Play it… before you live it.”

Sounds great… though personally, I have little need for alternate reality, finding real reality trying enough. I’m not 100% sure about the “internet’s staggering collective intelligence,” either. As an example of the finest intelligence the internet has to offer that I’ve seen in weeks, I give you Nora, The Piano Playing Cat.

I have CDs by serious American composers like this.
