The Women Of COILHOUSE

Just a really nice shot (by Allan Amato) of the editors of COILHOUSE magazine and blog. (Mer shouts at me when I call them the COILHOUSE Coven, so I don't do that anymore. Mer shouts at me kind of a lot.) You read COILHOUSE, right?

WASTELAND

WASTELAND is the best post-apocalyptic comic being published today. And I say that as the author of a post-apocalyptic comic.

The Newspaper Club

From the people who brought you THINGS OUR FRIENDS HAVE WRITTEN ON THE INTERNET 2008, a new and potentially very important venture: The Newspaper Club.

We're building a service to help people make their own newspapers.

What do we mean by people? Individuals, communities, clubs, societies, companies, friends, gangs. You know; people.

What do we mean by newspapers? Anything you can make by putting ink on newsprint. We think lots of people will want to make things that are quite like the sort of newsp

WIRED UK: Column 04

I note my fourth WIRED UK column has been pushed to the web for your free reading "enjoyment." Here it is:

I speak to you now as a man who survived the bird flu. I acquired the lethal, human-transmissible H5N1 from looking at a turkey at a farmer's market in north Essex.
