I just heard about this site, Our Media (http://www.ourmedia.org/), which apparently is some kind of relation to the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org), which is one of my most favorite things in the world.

Anyway, Our Media seems real cool so far. I'm trying it out right now. here's my link (http://www.ourmedia.org/user/11582)

The StorTroopers are back, after like a few year hiatus. The site is cool for generating little avatar images and stuff, and I appreciate those kinds of applications. StorTroopers has high "net.ster" appeal and a historical meme quotient to trade on (talk about advertising, eh?). But it's so sadly cute. The girls can't even have glasses. It's OK for guys to have glasses but not girls? WTF? I for one much prefer glasses. I don't need to wear glasses, but I have a pair just in case I want to look real cool sometime. I love to wear my sunglasses. Glasses are awesome. Read David Shield's excellent piece, "Girsl With Glasses" if you don't believe me. s-e-X-X-y, yo.

Anyway, here are the avatars I generated of me and Sarah:

And here are some hipster images I did of us. Although I prefer my new coinage, net.ster for a net.hipster:

And, just for comparison, here's a graphic I did to illustrate my love for Sarah last Fall on the occasion of her October birthday (you know, Halloween):

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
