by Voodoo Slumlord. I haven't checked them out yet, this is more as a reminder for me than you. or you. or you. Maybe I should start using del.icio.us.

Leonard Seltzer also amuses me greatly. The Techwriting Plus blog is a treasure trove of fictional short stories involving the misadventures and meanderings of struggling writer, Leonard Seltzer. It's been a mainstay in the worthy blog column inc case you hadn't noticed.

Kind of like Joanie Loves Chachi, except with Alien and Predator. This amuses me greatly.

The Credit Card Prank.

It's a shame that the interview with former Nintendo chairman, Hiroshi Yamauchi ain't the real deal. The Ballmer altercation is classic.

I suppose the dead giveaway should have been the interviewer's name, Jack Gleason, born in Brooklyn, New York. Get it.

The original link contained an graphic image of the interview, Minh's Blogs posted a transcription, complete with relative images.

Warren Ellis had the interview on his site earlier. Although he deleted the link, rather than follow it up. Anyway, the diepunyhumans content is now at warrenellis.com. Perhaps the name didn't sit right after the carnage left by the tsunami. An unfortunate name at an unfortunate time. Although Warren doesn't seem the reactionary type, so it may just be coincidence.

If you don't know Warren Ellis, read Transmetropolitan, then read one of the other million things he's written. He's quite good. And visit his blog, the stuff he links to when he's not writing is good, too.

I am apparently not that good a writer, since good is not such a good description of good. But I may good, since good is a brief, succint way of defining good. errr...spellcheck succint for me, wouldya? Right, it's succinct, I knew something looked not so...good.

Some who know me also know my fascination with mash-ups. The link is to a New yorker article that pays respect to the genre. Even if you think mash-ups are so '02.
