A friend of mine pointed me to this link (http://www.ocma.net/index.html?page=upcoming#Yucef_Merhi:_Poetic_Engineering) about an upcoming exhibit at Orange County Museum of Art which happens to be at the same time as E3... Hmm, I wonder if we'll be able to make it out? I gotta find out more about this. Let me know if anyone knows more about Yucef Merhi, the ePoet featured in the exhibition.

I love the interdisciplinarity of electronic literature and poetry. It's so great to me that people on the Electronic Poetry Center website (http://epc.buffalo.edu) range from Eduardo Kaz and his holopoems (which lead to his awesome inter-species communications exhibits and other super-rad things) and jodi (http://www.jodi.org) to John Cayley and Talan Memmott, who are working out of such a Lit and fiction mode. And many of these folks bridge the gap between writing critical essays, performing readings, publishing online and exhibiting in galleries.

If anyone sees Mike Peutz around, let me know. He used to be my roommate and was a really great guy. I haven't seen him for like almost 10 years. So I figure I should find him. I found his old university website, but it was gone. He drew a comic on my old site (go to the art section) . Anyway, I also wanted to try out the tooltips...

And here's another tricky thing to try... Hmmm...

This is a google poem and image assembled on the fly. Whee!

Wow, I haven't like a cop drama in ages, but that JC Supercop is a bad shut-cho-mouth. I love the part where Jesus shoots the thug, then brings him back to life to get the last bit of information out of him, then shoots him again and walks away. Jesus is one cold mofo. hehe



check it out on Channel 102

helping (e:paul) test out the server -- seems super spiffy!

nice work!

Wow, I just received payment for my Sync Magazine (http://www.syncmagazine.com) article about Sociolotron (http://www.sociolotron.com). Sync is supposed to be like "Maxim meets Wired" which is kind of, well, not really necessarily my thing (although I'm more into macho tech than cars, sports, or exercise). But my editor is real nice, and they want some clever game coverage, and it's a print magazine with 200K subscribers in North America (distro in EU, South America, and SE Asia/Australia, too). You might actually see it on the mag rack (but apparently Wegman's doesn't carry it, so I'm not sure if I'll ever see it myself... hehe)

I should get off my butt and go to Talking Leaves to look for it. Does anyone know if they carry Sync? They carry 2600 (http://www.2600.com)... that's enough to get me there...

Anyway, since I've been at UB I've slacked on my writing. I've written only a few articles for GF! and almost no school papers at all. I've written a couple papers about projects I've done and stuff, and I do consider my interactive stuff (http://www.shawnrider.com/onlineWork.php) "writing." But, wow, there's something about putting finger to keys in a particular way to create an article or story. I've written a LOT in the past -- I think I've published something like 200 reviews on GamesFirst ! (http://www.gamesfirst.com) But I've never written for a mainstream mag like this. It was really educational. It really brings home the freedom that we have with GF! And not just me, but my writers. I don't mean to imply that I was treated poorly. I was treated very, very well, and I hope to write for Sync or Ziff Davis more in the future. But the corporate world is something I might enjoy much more on an occasional, freelance, kind of engagement.

I <3 teaching.

and I <3 t e h Interwebs.

So is this just one big advertisement to get you to look for my stuff in the April/May issue of Sync Magazine available on your local cool guy mag rack? I dunno...

Oh, and Ajay -- just for clarification [inlink]ajay,318[/inlink]

I wasn't talking about personal websites. I mean homepages as in a customizable web portals -- like My Yahoo!, which is what I set to my homepage for easy access to lots of info, a handy calendar, local movie listings, daily comics, etc.

Actually, maybe you're a good person to ask: Know of a good, free, customizable personal webportal package? Something that would be easier than writing it myself in PHP and just aggregating feeds, etc? (I already use Vacoom! to gather some web comics for myself -- )
