G&L was born from a desire to bring an intellectual filter to the internet. It is our mission to both bring to you
and create for you the most thought provoking media from the internet and bring it all in one place.
We want debate and different opinions to decorate our front page. We believe that people have forgotten just how good moderated content can be. We believe that a simple, straightforward website is both better looking, and more effective than one that is over crowded with javascript widgets that nobody uses You can help use find content yourself by submitting links to our upcoming section. Popularity will play a major part in selecting which make it to front page as will humor but neither will be the sole deciding factor. We want to keep our front page diverse so it does not become a haven for ideologies. If we find that you submit great content on a regular basis we will consider giving you "mod status". What this means is that you can approve/deny articles for display on the front page, as well as contribute to the Gibsonandlily.com Blog. We don't try to hide the fact that this is not a website of democratically chosen articles making it to the frontpage. This is a democratic republic. That is, we try to have at least one moderator from each political and economic ideology. Gibsonandlily.com is neither right-wing, nor left-wing; we're not a tech blog, not a financial news blog. We are an index of interesting pieces of media from around the internet. |
| Cody |

Few can fully appreaciate the depth or breadth of Cody's knowledge. Although he is a pinko commie bastard that is trying to destory the United States with socialism, Cody can delight both your mind and your soul with his vast knowledge of music and his ability to find obscure and oddly appropriate photos. Fear his beard growing abilities. Fear his laugh, fear his smile, but embrace his knowledge. | |
| Travers |

 |
Travers connects to Gibsonandlily via a PDP-10 that he bought from an Air Force base in Nevada. Legend is that he found information on this machine proving the existence of Alien life forms and that he sold his silence to the government in exchange for an endless supply of vintange computing equipment. There has been a comic written about Travers called BOFH, I suggest reading it. | |
| Ryan |
||
 |
Ryan is the site's admin. He can usually be found buried under a mountain of packing peanuts from a fresh shipment of supplies at work. He enjoys a spirited debate about politics and economics over a delicious Pina Colada (the non-gay kind). Fear his ability to churn massive ammounts of poorly written python and perl. | |
| luke |

Nobody is entirely sure where luke came from, or how he got here. There are legends (some say they started in the halls of wikipedia) that luke is not from the planet. Some even say that luke is not his real name (they point out that he doesn't capitalize the L). We aren't entirely sure where he came from either. One day he showed up in the users table as a mod. Every try to remove him has resulted in an I/O error and a complete system crash. Regardless of where he came from, luke is always here to offer up some sage-like wisdom. There are even rumors that on dark nights in the datacenter, you can hear him quoting the simpsons or listening to obscure music. | |
| Joel |

Joel will not only rock your world, but possibly your entire party as well. There was once a person that heard joel spinning some, and this is a
direct quote, "Uber-l33t sauce dee enn bee tunez" and, in an attempt to praise the up and coming DJ told him "Hey, cool techno music!". What happened
next was a demonstration of just how angry a man can become. Several now-prominent behavioural psychologists have wrriten their doctoral thesis on the
epic shitstorm that was brough upon the, once again a direct quote, "Newb skate". Joel has since retired from physical asskickery and now resorts only to "pwning your face" by hacking into your computer to replace all of your music files with obscure Rick Astley songs encoded in lossless FLAC. |
