Tom Coates has got Barbelith up and running again, as a webzine/community site for the kind of people that like The Invisibles. The community there is interesting, and one I occaisionally think about particiapating in, but remain put off by the fact that they’re using UBB. The ‘zine looks like it’s going to excellent.

Stu West
Stu West’s website. Stu is a nice chap who I met the other week at Bristol. I recommend “The Immaculate Bastard” as one of the funniest things I’ve read lately.
Wrenching
This may be the most depressing picture I’ve ever seen. The title is “I had a good idea a few minutes ago”, and it’s simply heartbreaking.
Confusion
No, I don’t understand this. Nor should you.
Make A Mr
Make you own Little Miss or Mr Men. God-like genius. (Hmm. I don’t seem to be able to publish anything new at the moment, so I’ll edit this to see what happens.)
Soap Calibur
Via Lyssa, Soul Calibur: The Soap Opera. I haven’t laughed so hard in days.
No Logo
Currently reading Naomi Klein’s excellent book No Logo, on corporate culture, the commercialisation of private space, worker explotiation and culture jamming. And then I come across a particularly fine set of culture jams: All Your Brand Are Belong To Us.
But It Has Now
One day, this sort of thing will cease to surprise me. But not yet.
This Got Me More Hits That It Should Have
Your strange perversions for the week, presented without comment beyond a barely-repressed shudder of fear:
- http://www.gimpix.com/ – leg fetishists with a difference.
- http://ld5.dyndns.org/ – anthro-macrophiles.
Roundup
That was a fun weekend, even if the Saturday I’d planned to spend working was in fact a complete write off, as I went to a party Friday night, intending to stay for a couple of hours, missed my train, and was menaced by a Norwegian bearing something that they claimed was rum, but was obviously paint stripper, and as a result got in at half eight in the morning, and wound up sleeping through to half four, just in time to head off for Birthday drinks with the vilest man on Earth, Sick Tim. Low turnout for that, but a good laugh. Sunday, round at Andrea’s with the usual suspects for a very pleasant afternoon. So, the usual huge thanks to all involved, and apologies to all the readers I’ve just put to sleep with the dull minutiae of my life. In penance, some links.
- Strange Machine. Writings by Warren Ellis. Enjoy.
- Marie’s World Tour. Comics professional and acclaimed madwoman Marie Javins is off round the world for the year, without leaving the surface of the earth at any point. Marie is a vastly entertaining travel writer, so you really ought to stop by.
