Used to over at SuicideGirls when I had an account. I'd be back on there if I could actually make a lick of sense of their new payment system, and if it weren't more expensive for us Aussie's now than it used to be.
I've started keeping a blog for a fledgling music project I'm calling Tincanphone. At the moment it's a repository for ramblings and links, but it'll all add up to something interesting, I'm sure.
I can also be found blogging on the bandsite, We'll Write, a link I imagine I'm now posting with annoying frequency.
.renatoguerra. Recent works, process, sketches, personal notes, research and that kind of stuff. I have a lot of webshit profiles and pages but this blog is the center of my internet life.
"Any half-serious student of the occult will eventually notice that Ellis is no expert, and his unoriginal characters can easily be identified as the hapless dorks of any typical internet messageboard or chatroom, such as “White Chapel”, where Ellis is known to hang out, preaching to his blind herd of sheeple about his version of futurism... I think our dear savior might actually become manifest through the obsessive, homoerotic, almost tantric stroking of Ellis by his cult of sheeple, collectively jerking off to the latest old world hack trying to cash-in on the ignorant, drug-induced, meathead horde..."
I blog in Germany, mostly. And I don't mean that as a joke answer to "Where do you blog", it just means that most of you won't be able to read those blogs. Pity, because especially Der m(ech)anische Comiczeichner is really good. It's a production blog for my books. I've benn thinking about running a translation somewhere, but it would feel like a simulation. There's also some minor blogging on my own site, Dreadful Gate Productions, and some comic news blogging on PANEL online, but I'm not supposed to do that anymore. This just in case anybody can read it.
In English, there's my Twitter feed, which I use to leak what I'm working on. And, of course, The Engine, which is the closest I got to an international blog at the moment. I collect most of the other news I post into a Jaiku feed.
You really must check out the rest of the rant, it's hilarious.
<blockquote>"Maybe I am just a dreamer, and those kinds of powers are not capable of being transmitted through the written word, at least not anymore."</blockquote>
Actually, the issue is that big ideas, especially creative and cutting edge ideas, can only be 'transmitted through the written word' when passing through barriers of a specific & receptive thickness. When you're referring to, for instance, a stubbornly thick skull coated in the calcium deposits of smugness, those ideas may not be able to transmit.
I have a sense of humour, I just didn't find your post very funny. I also didn't feel the need to compare you to a 'pimple faced fourteen year old with his first boner', or a 'pseudo-intellectual ape', no matter how apt those descriptions seemed at the time. I also did not point out my personal dislike of your 'virtually meaningless [..]babble', or 'bitter brain boggling banter' (probably because I could say that last bit twelve times fast, I'm not that clever).
There are lots of places for 'hapless dorks', like ComicBookResources.com, Newsrama.com, and eHarmony.com.
Heh, again, I wasn't going to be specific but- hilarious in a very sad way. In a way that says, if you dislike it so much, what the hell are you doing writing about it, and- of all things- invading the authour's community space?
It's ..so mind boggling.. it's just funny. You have to just laugh and shake your head.
The idea is funny. The lengths to which it over-extends itself is funny. The content? Not so much. In my opinion, that is.
You're obviously a smart guy Z-- the length to which I exaggerate was meant to be humorous and ridiculously over the top. Why did I write it? and why "invade" the space? Because I can. A lot of people who I respect enjoy Warren's previous work- maybe this latest effort isn't his best, or maybe I am just a hopeless joker. Maybe we are both trying too hard. The important thing is that we are asking the questions.
