Duffer St. George
Dare you infidels bear witness
perennially revise the back catalog
Band of Horses kick off tour
Desmond Dekker dead at 64
this quality of perpetual evolution
only deepens my stalker-love
I have no respect for your calendar priorities
slightly creepy sibling dynamics
you pathetic, mouth-breathing
my depraved fanboy rants
I feel only loathing, utter disdain
I'm done being a nice guy
the fact that I have good taste
swerve towards the ADD
off like a quick appendix
Duffer St. George and i don't care

Peeing and Emotions
From a newsletter from The Grates on MySpace:
OK like I met a spiritual innovator on the plane on the way home from USA yesterday. Also on this plane, you would never believe it, this dude had 3 fits across from me that made him foam at the mouth. John, Alana and Patience just like sat there and did nothing, and I was all like "Can't anybody else see? This man has rabies! Hello?" and that's when this spiritual leader approached me. What he told me rang true again and again in my eras. He said "When women need to pee it actually takes use of a muscle to hold the pee in which is the opposite of men as it takes a muscle to let pee out. This is like my theory on human emotions. Women need work to hold emotions in where as with men it takes work to let them out."

NaNoWriMo Spin-Offs
It's great how NaNoWriMo has encouraged new limited-time ventures for other creative genres. Lacunae is doing NaSoAlMo (record a solo album in a month) again, and now Defective Yeti has started WriAShorStorWe (write a short story in a week). There's Art Every Day Month, National Novel Editing Month and probably a few others I'm missing. Now if I could only get off my ass and complete one of these projects...
Update: A blog search found NaDruWriNi (National Drunk Writing Night). Now that I think I can handle.

"A Bum In A Google Cap"
In a July 2005 Wired magazine article, Paul Boutin uses that phrase to describe his encounter in San Francisco with Jorn Barger of Robot Wisdom, one of the original weblog pioneers (he came up with the term "weblog" in 1997). Barger's companion Andrew introduces him: "'This is Jorn Barger.''Another homeless blogger,' (Barger) finishes." Later in the article, Boutin talks about Barger losing and recovering his robotwisdom.com domain:
A few weeks later, I find out that Barger has recovered his domain — and Robot Wisdom pops back up online. I hunt him down for a pint at a local pub and he tells me he's moving on, this time to Memphis. He says he avoids the need for a job by living on less than a dollar a day. "I was carrying a cardboard sign when we met that day," he tells me. "I wasn't sure if I should show it to you. I figured if things didn't work out with Andrew I could pick up some change." On his panhandler sign, Barger had written: COINED THE TERM 'WEBLOG,' NEVER MADE A DIME.

Bruce Sterling on SXSW Interactive
From the Austin Chronicle: “You know the way bloggers go ape when they discover a gay prostitute in the White House press corps? (SXSW Interactive is) just like that, except with beer.”
