Sweet Smell of CAA
A few years ago I heard somewhere that some scientists apparently are working on a small attachment for PCs that, when you visit certain websites, it will begin releasing certain smells to go with site. The smells are encoded into the webpages and they tell the attachment what combinations to release.

I remember hearing that news story as well.
I think it should have the smell of a country farm house, the smell of the outdoors mixed with fresh baked apple pie, and a few mothballs.

Thanks for qualifying that. Those aren't the only smells associated with a country farm.
My personal choice would be for the smell of bread baking.

Okay, how about the faint smell of acetone as you unwrap a newly bought CD, then?

Hey, new CDs are like drugs to me, Dr. Shooby. I smell the wrapping when I buy one. >_> You put that smell on CAA and I'll be logged in here until I pass out due to dehydration.

Fresh laundry. I think CAA should smell like fresh laundry.
But then, of course, I'd try to wrap myself up in my computer and I just don't think that would work. I would also be visiting the website even MORE than I visit now. Like Jamie, someone would have to "rescue" me from the computer.

Yeah, I have to agree with Hope on this one. It's gotta smell like fresh laundry, all homey, warm, and fluffy!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

No, the smells should be seasonal. Each week changing to something else that relates to that season and any special events of the time - so spring, summer, autumn and winter, easter (hot cross buns anyone?), christmas etc.

Ooh now there's a question! However, she's a girl, creative, lively, and now at seminary - so I imagine she smells quite wonderful. I'm thinking some light but joyful perfume, perhaps the smell of healthy hair with a fruity shampoo and an ever so light presence of the smell of books.
Mmmmmm.

Just remember not to log on when she's been outside sweating all day.

I would say... the smell of a bookstore. Or coffee house.

I wouldn't want such a technology. Fast browsers would be overwhelmed by scents, and could you imagine what html spam would be like?
Bob: Toodle-doodle-doo, I'm gonna check my email.
Bob: Hmm, that looks interesting...
Bob: ...oh... OH... ARGGH, D4 P41|\|! D4 P41|\|!
John (coming in): Hey, Bob, you got that report from - OH! Geez! What did you have for lunch?!
Bob: It's not me, it's the computer!
John: Look, blame the dog for all I care, but get some help! That smell is... D4 P41|\|!
Sam (coming in): Hey, Joe, Bob, excellent, I need to talk to you about that report from Accounting. As far as the budget for next year - HOLY FLIPPING SCHNICKIES OF DEATH!!! WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!?!?!
(six months later)
New guy: So who's that, I don't think I've met him yet?
Sally: That's Bob, you'll want to keep you distance from him.
New guy: Oh, why's that?
Sally: Gas. Trust me. You'll want to keep your distance.
(Later, on Bob's employee evaluation)
Note: has difficulty integrating with team
(a little later)
Boss: Bob, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. You're just not fitting in here, so we think it's best if you move on. *aside* And I suggest doing something about that gas.
Bob: AAARRGGHHH!!! Enough with the gas!! It was the computer!!! *goes wild and is dragged out by security*

I'm not sure how to respond to the direction this thread is going with sounding like either a dirty old man or a sociopath, but I think I just did.
