i like that i have no real idea what i’m looking at.

Posting this from the pub before I forget:

Over the last day or so, you'll have seen hits from Technorati appear as
posts within the blog.  This was an experiment in building automatic
content into the site, as arranged by Mr William Gray of the Meltdowns.
Taking a look at it this morning, I decided the Technorati hits were
swamping out the rest of the content.  So in a little while Billy's going
to deselect that feed, and they'll all go away.  It was a good and useful
experiment, but it was clearly affecting readability.  We may add some
other stuff in over the next few days.

It has been brought to my attention that one chapter of my 1997-2002 serial TRANSMETROPOLITAN has been placed online. Since it’s one chapter out of sixty, and no-one’s trying to earn money off it, and I am lazy benign, I choose not to release the throatfucking hounds of hell upon the criminal Internets pirate responsible.

Instead, I offer it to you to read, and tell you that the story can be found in the collection TRANSMETROPOLITAN: LUST FOR LIFE, available from Amazon and all better comics stores and bookstores.

TRANSMETROPOLITAN #8, “Another Cold Morning”, by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson with Rodney Ramos, and Clem Robins & Nathan Eyring.

Japan’s ruling party has approved the blueprint of a law to allow military use of its space program, breaking another taboo in the officially pacifist country.

The law would be largely symbolic since Japan has already launched spy satellites, but is meant to ease concerns about building high-end satellites and to help the space program become more internationally competitive…

Sex Work Matters: Beyond Divides

At 10:45a (EST), join us at the New School, or online via live webcast, for the sure-to-be-controversial roundtable that Audacia Ray and I are co-moderating, “Managing Multiple Roles: Sex Workers, Activists, Artists, and Academics.” We’ll be joined by my boa: new whore culture editor Jessica Melusine, Elizabeth Nanas, Robyn Few, and Scarlot Harlot.

(I’m myself a little beyond over this happening, as it was spawned in this here blog a few months back.)
