Though “scrobbling” sounds like something that can’t possibly be healthy, I’m doing it again. I hadn’t really considered when I bought my new computer that I finally had the computing power to manage my 35,000-song iTunes library and run other applications, so for months afterwards I didn’t bother with a number of applications that I once tried to use. My last go-round with Last.fm was last year, when I scrobbled a couple of weeks worth of music before realizing that the software was absolutely killing my machine’s performance.

So, if you’re my friend and you’re using Last.fm, go ahead and friend me, but be prepared to see some horrifying tunes come up in my playlist, which basically runs 24/7 on random. (Also be prepared to see the new Portishead album a couple of times. I’m really enjoying that.)  My username there, unsurprisingly, is rosswhite, because either I have no problem with leading a very public life or I am too lazy to come up with a cool username.

Next up, I’ll finally be playing Civilization IV. I’d play Sim City 4, but somewhere along the way, I lost disc 1.  (If you want to maybe burn me a copy of disc 1 of Sim City 4 for Windows, I would reciprocate with some music, which you may pick out by looking at my playlists.)

I think it’s well-documented that my vote in the upcoming presidential election will go to William Shatner.  Over on Twitter, @WilliamShatner brought up the notion that he should have his own meme, similar to the Chuck Norris jokes meme.  Users are responding.  Here are some of the best:

• William Shatner doesn’t overact; it’s the rest of the world that’s phoning it in.
• William Shatner doesn’t have an oversized ego. He has a bigger identity than yours.
• William Shatner knows singing to music is just a fad.

Oh, my stars and garters.  This could be the greatest meme ever.  Follow @WilliamShatner on Twitter.
