I'm in Waterloo at the moment, and next available to work in September 2008.

Accidental Postage

May 15th, 2006

In the process of upgrading Typo, I managed to accidentally publish a somewhat inflammatory partly-finished draft here. If it showed up in your RSS reader, you can send me inflammatory email or you can just ignore it until later.

But anyhow, it’s gone now, so here’s a funny picture instead:

I won’t be trying to update this site on a weekly basis until the book is finalized in July.

Writing is important. I like writing, and I like forcing myself to think up things to write about. And, of course, I like the fanciful idea that my writing might be improving through the process. But since I’m writing (deleting, revised, rewriting, etc…) pretty much every night anyways, the blog will be updated only for those topics that really seize my attention.

In the meantime, I can be found feeding my voracious appetite for information at the varied buffet that is reddit.

Update: In other news, it is Very Important that you all celebrate two special things on this day. Firstly, the MacBook is totally sexy, and secondly, Veronica has a Season 3.

Oh, and it’s Brandon’s birthday. But he doesn’t even have a proper website, so yeah.

Update 2: Now I’ve gone and accidentally published another article, this one not the slightest bit inflammatory at all. But it’ll wait a few days until I get a chance clean it up. The penalty of running buggy trunk versions of beta software… I could just publish my drafts & pretend it was intentional, but that seems unnecessarily pretentious.

  2. Yes, do tell what this post originally was.

    Also, I do have a real website, it’s just full of really crappy experiments that I never bothered to fix, and haven’t updated in several years: http://djdeanre.tripod.com (also crappy cuz it’s on Tripod, but oh well).

    Trust me, if I had the time to dedicate to actually making a new website, I would. Also, I would take down the above abomination of the internet.

  3. I’ll polish it up at some point. It was a piece on abortion, inspired partly by a piece on Dave Koudys’ blog. (and also by all that South Dakota hullabaloo from a few months ago… yes, I have some drafts that sit around for a long time before getting published.)
