TUN3R.com: new favourite webtoy.

Not sure why, but it turns out CRECY has a page on Amazon. Obviously, I’d rather you bought CRECY from a comics store — but if you don’t have a local comics shop, then this is an option, right? It’s out at the end of this month.

At Fantasy Book Critic.

Spotlight on Warren Ellis
Warren Ellis (Authority, Black Summer) is not only one of the most critically acclaimed writers of comic books but also one of the most outspoken. Don’t miss this chance to see him talk about everything from modern technology to how he crafts a tale, and get special sneak peaks of his new Avatar titles Doktor Sleepless, Black Summer, and some amazing surprise project announcements! Room 6CDEF

“Its rock-hard surface can take a full- on assault from a baseball bat, yet remains flexible enough to allow you to kick, leap and roll with perfect ease. Crafted from cutting-edge science, its unique molecular structure means that while providing armoured protection against crude concrete and even barbed wire, it remains light enough to allow you to run at high speed. In a nutshell, d3o is an advanced polymer with an intelligent molecular structure that flows with you as you move but, when shocked, locks together to become rigid enough to absorb impact energy. In its simplest form, it is like an automatic knee-pad that can be sown seamlessly into a pair of jeans.”

Slinka:

I still get weiner pictures in my mail.

That’s right, I still got it.

“I’ve got no fucking space left on my body now that I’ve had that map of the Isle of Man inked on the inside of my foreskin — it’s time to investigate how to get my eyeballs tattooed.”

Warren Ellis: there is now a mobile app to find public toilets. Oh, this Star Trek life we live now, here in the 21C.

But it’s a nice photo:

“Basically, it took a single evening for Voice to be put to use as a way to inform large crowds of people about the provenance of their conception, the friendly welcomes their mothers allegedly give to passing tradesmen, and, indeed, their pokemans and their willingness to show you them.”

Apparently Pownce is great. I accepted an invite to Pownce from a friend. Apparently Pownce does all kinds of cool stuff. Pownce relies on something called AIR from Adobe to do its cool stuff. You have to download and install it before downloading the Pownce client that make stuff go from your desktop.

The AIR download link doesn’t work.

Apparently Pownce don’t give much of a shit that the thing that makes the Pownce client go is unavailable. So fuck Pownce, really.

(EDIT: someone ended up sending me a copy of AIR. Unbelievable. Am now at http://www.pownce.com/ellis/ while I evaluate the thing. Don’t be offended if I don’t accept friends requests, please.)

Facebook, Bebo, Linkedin, Subkultures removed from life. Treo is actually switched off, for the first time in possibly years. Twitter running on desktop. Posting to website from desktop. Later, will catch own food, make fire with sticks, sacrifice stack of iPhone ads to moon god.

Warren Ellis: The music threads on The Engine are particularly frightening tonight.

Ignore, I’m testing a new desktop client for bloggery.
