So today is supposed to be Blog Day 2010. BlogDay founder Nir Ofir has been doing this since 2005. The idea is for bloggers to post links to five disparate blogs which are culturally alien reads. Each BlogDay post August 31, 2010 is supposed to be tagged as BlogDay2010. Bizarrely, this year, Technorati shows not [...]

Vaughn Belak just relaunched his art web site. In addition to featuring new work, most of which features naked boobies, so I can’t show it to you here, the site features flyers for past gallery shows and announces his forthcoming show. He will be having a “New solo show of monsters, zombies and undead ladies [...]

It is no secret that I find Vladimir Putin hot. Russia’s best pinup just keeps upping the ante like an 80′s action movie supervillain. According to Russia Today, the city of Sevastopol hosts a yearly motorcycle rally to coincide with the anniversary of Russia’s, uhm, victory over the Nazis. (WWII buffs may feel free to [...]

My fellow Wesleyan alum Jim Vincent posted this demotivational poster today. Not sure where it comes from, alas. He is afflicted with co-workers who play golf and refer to him as a LARP-er. So this was pretty perfect for him. I wish the SCA — Society for Creative Anachronism for the uninitiated — were less [...]

So Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal is pretty much a genius. He sold an early social network he coded some years back, so I have no idea if he needs to sit at home creating antisocial quizzes and hilarious webcomics. But, need to or not, he does. Today’s entry is Why Working at Home is [...]

I’m pleased to be able to share that Deathrock.org has done a feature interview with Razor Candi. Kate Deathrock and Razor Candi talk about Transylvania, art, and Razor Candi collaborating with and being inspired by Blue Blood. I’m both touched by and excited about this article appearing.

My Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving some nice press this week, so I thought I’d share. I’m so used to the speed of internet press at this point, that I am chomping at the bit with the turnaround time for print and for a project which requires more in-depth reading for journalists to cover [...]

I’ve been thinking about fellow Wesleyan alum Tristan Taormino lately because she was the original catalyst for my Backstage Passes anthology. Tristan is very prolific, but one of her most recent projects is the book Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. If you are in an open relationship or considering some [...]

Watching Halcyon get ready to go to Burning Man is always enough to make me wish they held it at a four star hotel, instead of the insanely hot desert. I’m addicted to hot baths and cool air. Honestly, I pretty much wilt, if my environment gets too hot for too long, although a dry [...]

Flavorwire ran a gallery today of portraits John Jonas Gruen shot of his artist peers over the past five decades. Apparently, East Coast artists of his generation spent a lot of time at the beach. Somehow there can be a West Coast notion that the beach is for the superficial and well-adjusted, but that is [...]
