Hello, and welcome to a very special first edition of Command D lead by yours truly, Virgil. This section is the collection of the oddities that I've come across here in the tangled web we call the internets. I'd like to focus this first installment ever so slightly, so I've picked the links I feel start to touch on the possibilities out there in the world wide web beyond it's normal usage as a transfer of mere printed words and porn videos. It is up to you the reader to journey there yourselves and we'll meet and discuss on the other side.
I. Begin by positioning your mouse over the link at the end of this sentence, close your eyes, and click...
II. Now feel the drug course through your veins. It reminds me of a painting I once saw.
III. I'd use the words "down the rabbit hole," if you promised not to call it a cliche.
IV. You just pulled a Harold Lloyd!
V. Whoa! Lets pause for a second and see if your eyes are dilated.
VI. Speaking of eyes, you get to build your own face here in the internets.
VII. From eyes to faces, from faces to planets!
VIII. Now we look at the flora and fauna on one of the distant planets we've discovered.
IX. Look even closer.
X. Once everything starts to wear off, you can remind yourself of the journey. Don't forget to save, print, and post it on your fridge!
For bonus points, comment on which one was your favorite and why!

This ain't your older sybling's linkdump. Mind blowing and humorous. Jeff Larson is one of America's newest and best tastemakers. Give that guy a Bravo show to host!

Holy mackerel! What a ride - like a "Choose your own adventure," but electric.
