Oooh… Capatown!

Sunday, March 3, 2002

I’ve posted my first review to Neil’s site, movies are awful (formerly movies show limited promise). Should show up in a while, pending approval. If you’re leftier than me, don’t read it. If you like trashy campy films, go for it.

YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO MANNA

Tuesday, February 26, 2002

Somehow I thought the market for stupid cartoons had dried up. I mean, before September 11th we had a nearly-inexhaustible reservoir of postmodern angst. I didn’t think anyone was buying Family Circus-style comics for anything aside from camp value. But Reverend Fun claims to have been “too popular to remain on the Internet,” and actually […]

Sucks To Be You, Andrews!

Wednesday, February 20, 2002

So yesterday James asks me why my blog is blue and white… knowing full well it wasn’t, I duly freaked out. Turns out all my files were moved to yada, and thus into the maw of my formerly dormant Moveable Type blog. So here we are, in a sterile layout I won’t stick with if […]

Remodelling

Monday, August 27, 2001

As you can see, I’m redoing the DSWJ at the moment. Believe me, it’s not going to look like this for long. The remodel is intended to make a distinction between the mindless link propagation and shorter observations I sometimes do — those will now go in a separate column from the main stuff, either […]

Termite Television

Sunday, August 12, 2001

Browsing the Paper Tiger Television (they’re an activist video collective) link list, I found the Termite Television Collective’s Life Story project, in which people have five minutes to tell their life story to the videographer. Onward and upward with alternative TV!

We Love Anthropomorphic Little Blobs

Sunday, July 15, 2001

There is a Flash version of everyone’s favorite classic, Puyo Puyo. Please don’t start playing if you’re working on a term paper.

Just Call Me Mr. Butterfingers

Saturday, July 14, 2001

Just looked at Emo Phillips’s Website for the first time. Check out his list of times he’s been struck by a typewriter, and his recipe for cole slaw.

Henry Kissinger, Oh How I’m Missing Yer

Friday, June 29, 2001

One of Tony LakeÂ’s and my assignments after each of the sessions in Paris with Le Duc Tho was to doctor the transcripts so that Henry would look good for posterity. There was a deliberate and conscious and very elaborate falsification of the record, including the insertion sometimes of humorous and erudite remarks that had […]

Dogs

Tuesday, June 12, 2001

There has never been a Kuro5hin story that struck me quite like this one. Innovative, and interestingly written. Ultimately I guess it’s petit jeux, but it’s a worthwhile etude to think about the effects of domestication. It also provided a link to the study on the domestication of foxes I learned about in Ray Coppinger’s […]

Contemporary Art

Tuesday, May 22, 2001

Today’s selections: A gewgaw which makes art out of bot-crawlings. (Extra points to the site creators for recognizing the connection between fly-blow and Google.) Tony Earley has excerpts up on Salon. I do wish it was more than excerpts. Tony is my favorite author ever since I saw him paralyze a roomful of snooty author […]
