UncrappyStuff that I like, or am mildly proud of, or that I just want to point at and say ‘I made this’.
Uncategorizable CrapI can’t figure out which bucket to toss some crap in, so this is where it goes.
Trippy Visuals, ManPictures of things or about things or maybe that picture of your mom. Yeah, that picture.
Thoughts That, If Not Deep, Are At Least WideThinking is not my strong suit.
ReminiscencesStuff that I remember, in spite of the synaptic misfires of the wobbly swiss-cheese mess that is all that remains of my once-reasonably-capable brain.
Random SillinessSilliness that is random. That’s all.
Politics Chafe My ScroteYou try not to get sucked in, but sometimes you just can’t resist. And inevitably, your [gender-specific bits] get, you know, chafed.
People Say Stuff SometimesPeople have a tendency to say stuff. Sometimes I notice.
non compos mentisSilliness that is random. That’s all.
Musical InterludesDrink a beer, sing along. And fuck the RIAA.
Me|diaSong of Myself.
MetabloggingBlogging about the blogging, and then blogging about that. It’s kind of what we do.
LinksIn which I link to other things on the internet, and thereby get to keep my official Weblogger In Good Standing Badge. It’s the small things.
Korea-relatedHere I am. Still. I don’t dislike Korea, but it does have a tendency to piss me off once in a while. Well, OK, most of the time.
EmergencyMy friend Rick was caught in the bombings in Bali in October 2002. He later died of his injuries in a hospital in Australia. This is what happened, and what I wrote and his friends and family and a lot of other people wrote, in reverse chronological order.
Booze Glorious BoozeIt was a woman who drove me to drink and I never got the chance to thank her.

Single Serving Site Alert21 May 2009No comments

Just a quick note for those few, those brave, those patient who haven't completely migrated to Facef*ck or ThighSpace or Twatter or whatever social disease network is the flavour of the moment, and still stop by or RSSize the 'bottle to get an occasional taste of Grandpa Wonderchicken's Old-Style Longform Bullshit. A while back, one morning, when I heard that Kevin Rose (of Digg and the late, not terribly lamented Pownce) had a new Twitter-parasite site called WeFollow, I lost my shit ("You might follow, you tiny-dreamed weasel farts!" said I to myself, or something of the sort.) and bought a domain, threw up a Wordpress site, wrote a screed and did a couple of photoshops, all before lunch. If I was that productive all the time, I'd be... well, I wouldn't have the time for insane vanity mini-projects like that, I guess. Still: here it is, the lastest addition to the burgeoning Wonderchicken Industries™ Network. Share and...
