NaNoWriMo 2002
Tomorrow the marathon commences. My tome is tentatively entitled: Dennis or Love in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.

You'll find a reliable link to the work in progress at left. I cannot guarantee that the material will emerge in a narratively linear fashion, in fact I can pretty much guarantee that the raw stuff will come out in random order. Read at your own risk and PLEASE do not make any critical comments. It'll be hard enough to crank out the words without being reminded that it sucks.

Updates to the Wayback Journal will probably suffer during November.

BLoD: Halloween Special
From Erik of The Truth is Out There:

I've been UserLand free for a year now. To commemorate I'll be wearing my Dave Winer halloween costume for the rest of day.

Cheap, yet funny, shot.

The Rabbit Speaks Sooth
Apropos of Reclaiming My Life: A Declaration of Intent come these words of wisdom from the Rabbit.

Sure, sometimes I'm jealous of certain friends, and sometimes some friends are jealous of me, but those feelings have nothing to do with anyone's successes - they're merely an indication to us that we're resisting our callings, or wasting our talents.

Everyone is pathetic and insecure now and then. The happier among us know that such feelings usually indicate that it's time for a change.

What could you do that would feel like a worthwhile accomplishment, if only to you, and why aren't you doing it?

Yeah, what she said.

Robust Technology
You know it's time to call it a night when your iBook does a back-flip off the bed onto the floor, slamming itself shut face down and putting an unfortunate crimp in the powerplug.

You know you're a freakin' addict when you fail to take the hint, open the poor abused iBook right on up again, and continue as if nothing had happened.

You know you're livin' lucky when everything still works, from the sticky-outy 128 MB USB flash drive, to the keyboard, to the Airport net connection that didn't skip a beat. Technology that doesn't break: god love it.
