I’ve been making political comics over at Quick Comic. I made one about fiddling while Rome burns and one about what I hear on the news and one about Leeroy Jenkins. You should make some comics too!
NO I AIN’T READY FOR THIS NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I love Anthony Lane. I tend to turn right to him in the New Yorker and read his reviews even if I’d never see the movie. Especially if I’d never see the movie, because then usually he is going to disembowel it, and I get to have fun without paying the ten bucks.

I am so pleased to see that YouTube and Google Video are in part fulfilling the promises of DIY media offered by the Internet… browsing the latter today I found “Why Don’t We Do It In Our Sleeves?” a public service video about coughing and sneezing without spreading germs from my natal state of Maine. The video is really hilarious, on purpose. More people with important things to say should think about taking themselves less seriously; the humor of this piece appears to have made it — dare I say — go viral. The video’s highly-rated enough to show up on the first page Google showed me when I first made my way to the site.

Really, there’s a good reason why Brooke McEldowney’s 9 Chickweed Lane won the National Cartoonist Society’s Award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip this year. The man is wicked smart.

So not only is the audio from my HOPE (hacker conference) presentation now up online, but the Bitch Magazine anthology I was published in is now also available. And I will most likely be speaking at a reading of authors from the anthology at The New School on Wednesday, September 20th. Yay!

Hi. A few of you may be wondering if I’m OK, having heard news that a Fung Wah bus rolled over between Boston and New York today. Well, by twist of fate I wasn’t on that bus — it was going the other way, actually, so that means Tse Wei, who I ran into this morning and who took an earlier bus from Boston, could not have been on the bus in question. We’re fortunate. It does appear, though, that nobody was seriously injured.

Could someone please explain to me why All The Words In Posts On William Shatner’s Blog Have Initial Caps? Weird enough to read about the man boast about selling a kidney stone for $75,000, but to read it with the first letter of every word in every post capitalized is really kind of upsetting, in a visceral way. Posts and comments both. The only explanation I can muster is that it must have something to do with his signature stilted acting style.
Jacob made me aware that the Sci Fi Channel has developed a pilot animated show of the comic book The Amazing Screw-On Head. A definite must for all fans of Edward Gorey, this is the visually dark yet whimsical story of a steampunk 007 (errrr, 007’s screw-on head?!) who is in the service of Abraham Lincoln, fighting evil spinsters and gentleman zombies during the Civil War. (Watch for the “animation” of Lincoln. Holy flipbook flatpanels, Batman!) Makes for some great period jingoism (back when people actually said “jingo”). If enough people indicate they like the pilot, Sci Fi will apparently run it. So Vote Screw-On Head!

I don’t really count sheep, but I do need to get my mind off things, so I try to think up alternative game interfaces. And it occurs to me that what with this trend for pole-dancing among suburban housewives…
