Never mind the mess...
You've reached the LiveJournal of [redacted to keep things professional], renaissance man of letters about town. I don't maintain A Homepage (typically in its place leaving a link to a Google search of my unique name combination) (to say nothing of its frequent misspelled permutation), but this LJ most likely is the closest I get ( Read more... ) -
My strange proposal to celebrate a very old website
Yes, yes, I know, RIP LiveJournal. I tried to post this on Tumblr (which, same problem, only different) but it choked on the IRC log formatting. In a way it is most appropriate to celebrate a defunct Web 1.0 institution on a defunct Web 1.0 institution.) OK, here we go ( Read more... ) -
Mistigris artpack call for submissions
Friends... arty friends! (That includes the vast majority of you.) I want you to share some of your art with me. (For the sake of this punchy appeal, "art" definitely includes images, sounds and writing of all kinds, though my interests range beyond those. If in doubt, assume I'm interested.) Haven't made any art recently? I don't care. Make ( Read more... ) -
wedding liner notes
So, Jen and I got married. Some of you were invited, and to others this may come as surprising news. (We were surprised perhaps most of all: eight-odd years into a relationship between two individuals, neither of whom believe in the BS medieval patriarchical property ritual of marriage, after having two kids and long after moving in and starting ( Read more... ) -
A busy week
Rather, I should say, a week of great virality for me! Many things for me to hype, and many of them have reached many people -- but not quite so many that I'm not going to bother listing them here:- One week ago, October 31st, better known to most as Hallowe'en, I officially launched the 21st anniversary artpack of my '90s computer art collective ( Read more... )

call for submissions
Ever since the BBS scene went belly-up and my days coordinating the artgroup Mistigris went kaput (circa 1998), in all my travels through arty circumstances through my adult life, I'd hit on splendid creative doings and think to myself, "Dag, if I was still putting artpacks together, I would most definitely ask to throw that in the mix." (Here on ( Read more... ) -
Shaggy dog rhymes
C was given a complete, authoritative (and apparently totally public domain) Mother Goose collection, including all kinds of Dickensian nastiness I would never subject my 21st century toddler to. She presses me ever onward to read "just one more" poem, and I of course love the sound of my own voice (which, by the end of the session, has taken on a ( Read more... ) -
the end of a chapter
(LiveJournal post started, from the looks of things, in January, and incrementally added to over months of coffee breaks without ever getting any closer to being "finished" -- likely because, as an arbitrary dip into the stream of consciousness with no beginning and no end, it didn't need to be said at all. (But I like writing it, the same way ( Read more... ) -
Friday, February the 13th
As I guess a given date has a one in seven chance of happening on a particular day of the week, it's probably been a multiple-of-seven years since I wrote this story in high school. The introduction of my recurring 3-day-novel hero Clark Ingledew (named after two brands of shoe), it was published (by myself, its editor) in the school paper, The ( Read more... ) -
"The Bells of Yule" infofile, Dec 17, 2014
This one was initially released in December of 1994, then became lost and unobtainable circa 1998. It's back in circulation now, re-mastered, and hopefully remains that way this time around. For the first time I enjoyed the strange privilege of the bandwidth cap of my ad hoc web hosting being exceeded to due too much interest -- it crapped out ( Read more... )
