While I was away in Seattle, my birds died. Still I sometimes catch myself inadvertently looking to the cage.

Detritus: You’re Not Serious About Donkeys!

Tuesday, March 20, 2001

Jeff Sharlet, a Hampshire alumn and a former editor of mine, appears to be editing an online ‘zine about religion: Killing the Buddha. Of particular note is their Manifesto. The world needs more special-interest magazines like these and fewer magazines like Miniature Donkey Talk Magazine, which scream for freelancers from between the pages of the […]

Detritus Peripatetica: Queens on St. Patrick’s Day

Sunday, March 18, 2001

Now that it’s getting warmer, it’s nice to walk around Sunnyside again, even in the rain. Sokin and I went out for a stroll around the neighborhood last night, looking to have dinner and dessert. We approached a grocery store I didn’t recognize… five blocks away becomes the unknown. Three small dogs were tied out […]

Announcing the Animatronic Repurposing Project

Saturday, March 17, 2001

The moment you’ve not been waiting for has arrived. I’ve started a page about the repurposing of battery-powered critters I’ve started to fool around with. Can anyone recommend some simple texts on electrical engineering? Back from Seattle. More on that later, for now here’s a picture of Jen and Rufus, who was mopey all week […]

Marquise McGraw

Sunday, March 4, 2001

Once again I’d like to direct your attention to the homepage of Marquise McGraw, one of my fellow shock troops in the afterschool program. He’s added a little more to his site recently. Marquise’s eloquence constantly amazes me, especially in comparison to the unfocused, poorly educated people who surround him in his community. He is […]

TV Go Home.

Saturday, March 3, 2001

TV Go Home. Hooray! “8 Facts” leads to other good British web shite. What The Onion would be if it were TV Times and British. I especially like this one… “Largest Conceptual Schism Between Faceless Product and Contrived Mardi Gras Atmosphere.” heh.

Aquaframe, I was wrong, it’s an ordinary day…

Monday, February 26, 2001

I am now the proud owner of an Aquaframe. An Aquaframe is one of an increasingly diverse line of products which feature little plastic fish which, as if by magic, swim around in a plastic tank. Apparently it has something to do with magnets, although I have seen huge freestanding tube ones which are bubble-powered. […]

Today on the Subway

Monday, February 26, 2001

I’ve got a new blog up called Today On The Subway. I’m hoping to find other people who are interested in observing subway life to contribute. There have just been too many weird and beautiful things happening on the subway not to comment. The other day there were these two snaggle-toothed guys who were quite […]
