[TIP] Digital Death: Talking with the Dead on Social Media

It was my friend Steve’s birthday this week.  It was the first thing I noticed the other morning as I logged into Facebook and scanned my feed.

Now the thing is that my pokey, tattoo’d digital pal I met back in the early days of MySpace has been dead since December 2009.

Out of curiosity I took a look at his page to see what was going on.

Facebook’s auto birthday reminders, one of the platform’s oldest features appeared not to be the only one’s confused about Steve’s corporeal state. Scrolling down the screen there appeared about 2 years worth of random greetings birthday posts.

[BLOG] ‘X-Men: First Class’: Gay-Rights Parable

In X-Men: First Class, one young mutant-human tells another, “You have no idea what I’d give to feel … normal.”

[PODCAST] Escape Pod: Short Story Survives & Multiplies

I get really tired of people going on and on about how the internet is destroying traditional culture and especially those who claim that writing &  literature as it’s prime victims.

These are the same people that think radio is a dead media and probably don’t tip their waiters or baristas.

[EVENT] Allen Ginsberg: A Man, A Poem, A Festival

For the most part I can’t stand the writing of Allen Ginsberg. The thing is that I really am not a big fan of his poetry.

“Howl” without a doubt is one of the more important bits of poetry produced in America in the 1950’s.  Don’t get me wrong he’s an amazing technician and one of the great poets but my adoration of him comes from him as a cultural force cool curator.

I’m a Beat Generation Junkie. A lot of who I am has to do with the inspiration I found in the writings lives of Jack Kerroac, Williams S. Burroughs most of all dear old ‘Uncle Allen’ Ginsberg all we’re secret mentors and role figures since I discovered them in high school.

[BOOK] James Klise’s Love Drugged

Love DruggedWhen I was a wee little boy and my eye began to linger a bit longer on the boys it was right around the time I began to reread the books of my early days as a reader.

All the books I read, especially the one’s by Judy Blume centered on some young protagonist whom felt they were different than everyone around them. I picked several favorites and read and reread them over and over savoring the outsider tales identifying with them deeply.

If I had come across a book like Love Drugged during my early days of sexual awareness it would of been apart of the books I read again and again.
