Never Tease a Gamer

I wrote a survey for GamerDNA members to tell us why you didn’t fill out a profile, as part of our ongoing quest to make this site’s technology as fun, effortless, and personal as humanly possible. (Humanly AND technologically possible is the way we roll, baby. The man in the machine is a philosophical conundrum that… oh, who am I kidding, the fact is I had a total crush on Brent Spiner while ST:TNG was running, and I’ve been mildly obsessed with human/technology intersections ever since.)

Ahem. Sorry, I digress a lot. So, anyway, at the end of the survey I put in a text field that said, paraphrased, “Tell us why you didn’t give us your DNA. If you did give us your DNA, you can skip this or use this space to compose a haiku.”

Um. I was kidding, when I said that, but I should know by now to never tease a gamer. We got dozens of haiku.

I won’t post them all today, but look for them here over the next few days.

Here’s one:
