It’s just vanishingly possible I’ve mentioned my appreciation for Scott Morse‘s art on the blog in the past. Given that I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that he’s doing a crazy online comic called The Shogunaut, which he’s been updating regularly. He’s up to 25 pages as I type this, and will likelly complete it soon. It’s kind of a Jack Kirby-meets-Maurice-Noble thing–perhaps not for most people, but if it’s the kind of thing you like, it’s really the kind of thing you’ll like.

Closing tabs from last year
Friday, January 9th, 2009You know the drill. I’m skipping the stuff that deals with Bush, Harper, or books, which should get their own posts. I had a weird fascination with Cass Elliot for a while there, primarily as a reaction to how much I was digging her tune California Earthquake. There were some weird side effects of this, [...]

Wrongheaded
Thursday, December 4th, 2008That’s a screen cap from the video for Amanda Palmer‘s tune Leeds United. (As an aside, that video was directed by sometime comic book writer Alex DeCampi, and I found out today that at least two of my online acquaintances1 are actually part of the audience in the video.) Anyway, looking at that screen cap, [...]
Wednesday Bookish Links
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008I was delighted to find out this week that Emma Bull is writing a sequel to Territory (you might recall I was pretty excited about that one), tentatively titled Claim. Of course, in the interim, I can always get a hit of Shadow Unit. (I think I might have mentioned that once or twice, possibly.) [...]
Doubly Entertaining: Telectroscope
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Have you seen the Telectroscope? Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel has finally been completed. An extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope has been installed at both ends which miraculously allows people to see right [...]
In which I embody the Internet as infinite recursor
Monday, April 28th, 2008So, Jeff VanderMeer, author of many things (including frightfully good stories about mushroom people) linked to my post below about pseudonyms. He’s gone with the “rather laugh than cry” route and has introduced a new Internet meme for book nerds: So, what’s your literary pen name? THIS IS THE OFFICIAL FORMULA (as created by, um, [...]
Ions played instead of notes
Sunday, April 27th, 2008This is how things happen: First, author Sarah Monette mentions a LiveJournal that posts a poem every Monday. I follow this link and make a note to come back later and look for poets I am not familiar with. And as I start looking over the list the first thing that grabs me is a [...]
A Humument
Friday, April 25th, 2008I was recently in a discussion of books as art object. Usually when I’m in a conversation like that it’s about fine limited editions, but this time it was about books that are works of art in a more conventional sense. I cited the Codex Seraphinianus, and the person I was talking to cited A [...]
Monday Miscellany
Monday, March 31st, 2008It’s really a miscellany today. I was half-tempted to title this 88 lines about 44 links, and maybe even do it in some kind of poetic structure, but fortunately a combination of laziness and good sense prevailed. Nice to see that former local (and HGPA-member) Brian O’Malley‘s movie deal is actually happening–at least leads are [...]
They come with bragging rights
Saturday, March 8th, 2008I see Collen Doran has made a couple of posts recently about some pieces of her art that I now own. Not only do I get to brag about owning the pieces, I think this formally connects me to the Swordspoint universe in some nebulous way.
A Sunday Miscellany
Sunday, January 20th, 2008Well, I’ve had a very busy weekend here in Melbourne–which I may get around to writing up at some point later tonight–and now I’ve made it back to my hotel/apartment, and it seems like a good time for me to do a little bit of value-added linkblogging. So, no theme, just lots of things that [...]
