Complete Plan B Archive
Kieron Gillen - 09 Feb 10
The whole run of Plan B magazine has been released as a single 670Mb PDF. That’s 46 issues of some of the finest music writing of the decade. And a lot of posturing pretentiousness too. It’s like two of my favourite things for the price of one. Or none, as it’s a free PDF.
If you’ve any interest in music in the 00s, or music full stop, this is a great thing to just have on file. You’ll discover a new band every time you browse it.
Hell, it’s even worth getting if you’re one of the games journalist sorts. For the first 10-20 issues or so, I was doing games stuff for it. And Quinns and Mathew Kumar too, who I bullied into contributing. Very much written for the non-gamer about games which get pretty much no coverage, we had fun trying to decode the concept of Outsider Games.
Whole thing here. Go gets!

Coilhouse - 08 Feb 10
Back around the time of Issue 03, we launched the Small Business Advertising Program to create affordable ad space for indie companies in the print version of Coilhouse. By the time Issue 04 rolled around, the number of advertisers had grown significantly – by this time, we had record labels, jewelry and clothing designers, sculptors, other magazines, web hosts, toy makers and graphic designers advertising in our pages. Click here to see them all. With editorial duties taking up more and more of our time as the weeks go by, the moment has come for us to seek help with the advertising side of running the magazine. We’re looking to hire an Ad Manager for our Small Business Advertising Program, starting with Coilhouse Magazine #05… and possibly subsequent issues.
Full details after the jump!

"Inflection Points" Presentation
Open The Future - 08 Feb 10
For those folks who are interested, here's the Slideshare version of the presentation I gave last week at the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute annual meeting. I was asked to talk about foresight thinking, as the event theme was "The Big One of 2056: What Went Right?" a look at a fictional 7.8 quake in the SF region that was handled as well as they could imagine possible.
My goal was to offer a bit of reassurance to the audience that there is some real utility to thinking about the future, and to spell out (in a cursory way) the kinds of big picture issues they should keep in mind while looking ahead forty-six years.
Inflection Points
View more presentations from Jamais Cascio.
By and large, it was a successful talk. The post-talk questions were engaged, with little push-back, and I'm told that the overall response from the audience was quite positive.
The talk was video recorded, and I'm told will eventually be available to the public. I'll link when that happens.
Chip?
I should’ve captioned this DEEP INSIDE CHIP ZDARSKY.
Spider sense TINGLING!
When they’re done I bet the room is covered in gooey ropes of webbing…
Which one is the boy Chip and which one is the girl Chip?
CHIP IS CHIP.
hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
Waitaminute– if that was a picture of Chips, they’d be in a sixty-nine.
Unless Chip is the bottom AND the top.
CHIP®: all things to all people. At the same time.
©HIP: I got holes in places most people don’t even have places.ˇ
I’ve seen this sort of thing at parties. Those are the ones that play shit music.
I see no penetration. I am, in ways I don’t want to think about, disappointed.
ahh. my day is finally complete. thanks, Warren!
You’re a bad, bad, wonderful man, Mr. Ellis….
Now if only they were wearing the hi-tech suit from the movies, I’d never have to leave the house….
Now, if one of them had been dressed as Black Widow… THAT might’ve been hot.
Is Spidey banging his clone..?
I feel sick… must lie down.
;x
Strangely, this doesn’t disturb me. At all. What-so-ever.
I’d say that I was broken to the point of no return, but I know that the second I say that, someone will post something utterly terrifying from thefetus.net and I’ll whimper in terror.
You just *have* to love Marvel continuity!
ok – and now I need to go pour bleach into my eyeballs.
Finally, Spider-man has 8 limbs!
this sure beats multiple covers as a sales device

Ah, good. My hatred of humanity was starting to diminish slightly.
For all us who hate the PC, child-friendly comics, this sort of thing is a godsend.
Thanks, Warren!
Why are so many people disturbed by this. Surely everyone knows that comicbook super-heroes have no genitelia. They’re like Ken and Barbie dolls. This is just friendly horse play. Right? Please?
Mah Head Asplode!
I’ve got to start reading this site later in the day…
I didn’t know Real Dolls had a Marvel license.
you are bad,out of this world bad
I want to say something about white sticky stuff spraying everywhere, but… I’m not.
Is this an outtake from the clone saga?
Sigh. Filthy minds, all of you. It’s clear what’s happening here; clear to somebody who isn’t utterly, irrevocably damaged by a lifetime of exposure to corruption and filth.
The upper spiderman is clearly unconscious. We have no way of knowing how, exactly, but let’s pretend it’s the result of an encounter with some villain who had some sort of…‘neural nullifierator’…hidden under his big flowing cape. So anyway, yes, he’s unconscious, and falling from a great height.
The lower spiderman (or spidergirl, perhaps) has just watched all this fine and wholly unpredictable action unfold from the ground below. So s/he’s swung on up there to catch him before he hits the tarmac. Success! But he’s too heavy, so they fall. The Lower Spiderman tries to break his/her counterpart’s fall as they punge together through the roof of a conveniently-situated motel room and land square on the bed.
In the next shot (which we don’t see here), the pair rise from the bed to reveal a comically spiderperson-shaped piece of plasterboard. Upper Spiderman is fine, by the way; he has a mild headache for a while but eventually finds out who the villain is, catches up with him, and blah, blah blah, blah blah.
That’s what’s happening there.
That is not two spiderpeople having the sex.
It’s a strange world…
…and this is what we have to deal with because of that.
Yeeuugghh.
Yep, my mind’s gone way down the gutter. I actually find this image cute and romantic.
The only thing I can think of, watching that pic: the sound that shiny fabric is doing. Sfhiizzzz, sfhazzz…
Damn you, Ellis, for not putting that image behind a “Don’t Look” link.
The beast with 8 legs–the spider IS an arachnid after all.
Why am I not phased?
I waiting to see if the Female Spider-Man eats her mate after they procreate.
Must be hard to get out your safe word out while your web-ball-gag hasn’t dissolved yet.
finally, the mising wizard world con pic.
and after mayo jar cock, it’s kinda cute.
at least its not spidey and venom…
What do you think happens after nerd prom?
Jason Abbot has a good point.
after nerd prom comes nerd sex. awkward, costumed, no-penetration nerdsex.
what the hotels hosting nerdprom don’t tell you is that they coat all surfaces that may be exposed to nerdprom with a spray-on prophylactic that can be absorbed through the skin, because the last thing they want is to be ground zero of a nerdbabyboom, as all those polyhedral dice are hell on the vacuum cleaners.
Hate you so much.
No, no, no! They got it all wrong! It should be the CLASSIC Spider-Man having sex with either the ULTIMATE Spider-Man or the BLACK Spider-Man! Sheesh!
