Products!

Yeah, yeah, running late again already. Piss off.

My order from unamerican.com arrived. I now own a “Jesus Hates Me” T-shirt, and a “Fuck Decaf” mug, along with a few badges and stickers. Result!

TPO

The Lair of The Painted One. Ian’s just started blogging, and has been good enough to permalink me. Everybody stop by and say hi to Ian. (Note to those few people who are good enough to do this sort of thing: I’ll reciprocate, as soon as I get the bastard re-design sorted out…)

CloneJesus

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” I read this site and started wondering if the entire virgin birth business wasn’t one of these nutters getting their hands on a time machine…

Hosting

So, I’ve got hosting for my new domain sorted out, but I’m not sure what to do with it. I’ll probably wind up using it as my main site, or at least, a direct self-promotion site, details of upcoming work and the like, and maybe using roadofhate as a vanity publisher. I’d really like to do something community based with one of them, get other people work up on a site, but I don’t really know what. So I’m still accepting sugestions.

Forgotten

Four times in two days. It’ll be months before I update this thing again, y’know. Anyway, after some friends of mine took me to task in a worryingly serious and earnest manner a few weeks back, concerned at how they don’t see any evidence of certain sides of my personality in anything I do these days, I thought I’d better flag this up. The current entry at forgotten.org was written by me. I do have romance in my soul. It’s just well hidden. Now stop bothering me about it.

Faahmbly

So, my little brother is over visiting this evening, and I’m showing him loads of neat webstuff, like blogger. He’s just registered his own domain domain name automaticsmile.com, and he’s looking for things he can do with it. If you’ve any suggestions for him, drop me a mail.

Future Past

Twice in as many days. Gosh.

Today’s topic: Models for the future. No, not the clothes kind. Pay attention at the back there.

1) Problem: Art should be free, but artists need to make a living. Solution: Open Culture, an alternative method of paying for art. If this takes off, it could be very interesting indeed. Sadly, I don’t think it will, somehow. It requires a greater degree of altruism than most people possess.

2) Localisation. It’s good for you. Apparently. I’m still trying to digest this one, to be honest. I haven’t got to the opinion-having stage. If I make my mind up, I’ll try and remember to say something here.
