Got more Pilots content ready, but I need to know you're out there. Comment to keep it coming.
I built a blue team avatar generator for Ze Frank's Twitter Color Wars 2008. Pick a team by following them on Twitter, show your pride with a labeled avatar. I'm blue for nostalgic reasons -- and because this site is basically a shrine to the color.
I'm building a FAQ for well-meaning straight people who have questions about gay people but are too embarrassed to ask. I need your help: what questions should I include? Submit via comments or email, anonymously if you prefer.
Looking for a travel buddy for Hawaii this summer. Anyone interested?
A List Apart is surveying the web development profession. Take it if your job involves web work. Also: the AFA's anti-gay boycott survey is fraudulent, always showing the same fake results. Blog about their dishonesty.
Yay free tubes, yay Ken! Happy New Year!
Walking down Old Compton Street gives me a rare, warm sense of belonging among people who share my sexuality and history. I wonder: is this what straight people feel everywhere, all the time? And if so, is one street's concentrated freedom worth being ghettoized everywhere else?
Coolness is just the respect of your peers. My peers aren't on MySpace judging my music taste, they're respecting my dancing, my conversation, my domain collection. So forget the hand-wringing: I'm not uncool, I'm unbelievably cool. And so are you.
Ed's back with a new WordPress blog. Go check it out.
I have at least one close friend I would never have met without the internet.
I've set up a mirror of Planet Afterlife while Will is away. Spent 45 minutes making it pixel-perfect, with slightly more entries per page and updates every 20 minutes. It'll stay up until Will returns.
I took a quiz and apparently I'm Scrivs. Flattering, given how awesome 9rules is.
Went from baking brownies to being ill again. London is a germfest, I'm a weakling, or both. Not going to the gym this time. Bright spot: a generous donor gave £30 to Gay Geeks, covering a chunk of hosting costs.
I'm a web developer and heavy OUTeverywhere user, and the new interface is a disaster. The old design was innovative, bandwidth-efficient, and information-rich. Sacrificing usability for standards compliance is missing the point entirely. The interface wasn't broken. Bring it back.
Give me your top five artists or bands you're loving right now.
Living in Tooting means enduring near-constant fireworks from October through January, as residents celebrate every conceivable holiday. I'm begging you all to consolidate into one big display so I can sleep before 3am sometime before February.
A list of weblogs by Warwick University students, for no particular reason.
Joining the "ask me anything" meme: leave 3 questions in the comments along with your blog URL, and I'll answer them in a future post. Also, welcome Danny to the blogosphere, where he's already mastering the art of the overshare.
My friend Jamie started a blog. Also, disk space issues are temporarily fixed so upload away. Oh, and that leaked Catwoman trailer confirms the movie looks terrible. Michelle Pfeiffer was way sexier. Also I may be dreaming right now.
Going to Meta 9 on Friday and needed a floor to crash on. Found one. Crisis averted.
Stunning artwork on DeviantART. Go look at it now.
Been neglecting this blog while focusing on GayGeeks. Managing multiple blogs is tough!
Enter the contest for a chance to appear in a Boy Meets Boy strip!
Caught up on a backlog of posts over at Gay Geeks, including a followup to the Tom McLaughlin case. Justice was done, though it's a shame that's the exception rather than the rule.
It's crisis season as university ends and the Rest of Our Lives looms. Everyone's questioning who they are and what comes next. Things aren't as bad as they seem, though. Sending a big communal hug to all. Also: knowing people who know things is almost as good as knowing things yourself.
Shoutout to John at Rainbow Villa, a nearly-20 semi-closeted gay boi whose writing reminds me of my younger self. He was complaining nobody links to him, so here you go, kid.
The Trini blogosphere just exploded for me thanks to Jonathan Ali, who led me to a whole network of local bloggers. With a recent Guardian article on blogging, maybe we'll soon have enough of us to overthrow the government through sheer intellectual arrogance.
Even my cynicism couldn't survive this. A town of 10,000 in Newfoundland absorbed 6,000 stranded air travelers after 9/11, housed them, fed them, took them on boat trips. One grateful passenger started a college scholarship fund on the flight home. Wow.
