We have to be self-selecting. It's the only way we'll be us. Or to at least cultivate the person we think we would like to be.

As for creating our own media, I agree. The tools are ours now and we use them. I belong to a group of young comic book creators called Working Title Comics. It all started out as a group of people on the Millar World message boards saying that they wanted to make comic books their way. So they did. I stumbled on to the group shortly after they had opened shop, so to speak, and I'm going to have my first comic published by the end of this month. (If my artist gets moving.) They saw what they wanted to do and did it. It borders on Nike motivation. Dig?

And if you use Kazaa, you should use Kazaa Lite. Much better version. No spyware, adware or anything else in their except the downloading program. And it's got unlimited searches so you know you'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for out there in the ether of computers. It's a pirated version of Kazaa for people who didn't want all that extra crap. That's microcasting.

I'm sorry, I'm distracted, is your LJ pic a picture of a tit or a doorbell?

Well, mission accomplished, then.

Blimey, that's like that joke about the difference between a postbox and an elephant's arse... (you don't know? Well, I wouldn't ask you to post a letter for me, then)

Well, guvnor, a tiny little picture on a compuker screen is a bit different than the actual thing in question in one's hand, what?

emmapirate January 19 2004, 08:53:14 UTC

Sadly, yes. It was a nice breast, though...

I dated that breast. It was very nice.
