Station Ident: When The World Just Wants To Give Them A Good Tug
This is warren ellis dot com. I am Warren Ellis. I write things. The world has been weird of late and I've not been broadcasting here as regularly as usual. Things should settle out for a couple of weeks now. This is a photo of "a faceless minion" by Veronika von Volkova. Good evening.
SPACE COFFEE
My friend the antifuturedoomstrategist Jamais Cascio has been visiting the space people.
This, apparently, is a "floating sensorbot." This being Jamais, I find myself wondering how many they gave him and where he's deployed them. I'm keeping one eye on the window at all times.

Video Village
Video Village is the place on a film set where they set up monitors hooked to the cameras and herd all the producers, visitors and other persons extraneous to the actual making of a film.

Headwork
Still kind of off in the clouds, taking care of some off-piste work but mostly devising things in my head, or at least letting things grow like stacks of bacteria in the corners.
Flickr is fucking dead these days.
This is the London hotel sitting room/honesty bar in which the last few details of Project Drill were beaten out, the other week.
It has one of these in the lobby. It has an aura of religious fear about it.
What I need to dig this comics idea out of my head is another brilliant...

TREME: New Trailer
TREME is the new tv series from David Simon, creator of THE WIRE. THE WIRE aficionados will recognise a couple of familiar faces, including Wendell Pierce and Clarke Peters — in the latter case, I hope people get the mirror of the cognitive dissonance I got when I saw Peters in THE WIRE, because I remembered him as a song-and-dance man from way back when.
Anyway. Kind of looking forward to this.

" Death rates among women in pregnancy and labour have doubled in the US from 6.6 per 100,000 in 1987 to 13.3 per 100,000 in 2006. Although some of the increase is due to better data collection, there is no doubt that deaths have risen while the technology and know-how to prevent them has improved."
