you know, that meatspace place.. away from a keyboard
Just over a year ago I did a photo shoot for Locks Gear. Turns out a few of the shots were usable. So whilst I’ll never wear the above hat again (that pix is just for you), maybe in the future I’ll do more than just take snaps of my friends’ t-shirts.
Read more "Live on Locks Gear"Back for 20!!, this year’s Continuum will literately blow your mind! Guests of Honour Dave Freer and Cat Valente assured me it would be the case. Apart from liaising with these fine pre-posthumans, I am once again on several panels: 80s & 90s Weird Stop-motion latex freakery.. From Alex Cox’s Repo Man and its car […]
Read more "Continuum 7 – Changing Consciousness"Yesterday marked yet another strange turn in my ever increasingly spikey life. The Way of the TechGonzo is to experience as many aspects of something as possible, rather than just reporting as an Observer. Accordingly, not only have I been writing about fashion here and blogging it on StylishGent.. yesterday I took centre stage. Returning to something I […]
Read more "Adventures in modelling"Between the recent minor internet war, as Joel Johnson tried to compare geeks and hipsters, and miss lizbt’s comments to me on the weekend, I’ve spent the last few days with a minor identity-crisis. Am I a geek, a hipster, something in between, or just me? And, of course (since it’s constantly on my mind, clearly), the […]
Read more "Hipsters, techno-hipsters, being hip and Gibson’s characters"On Doctor’s orders I spent a week in the sun, up in Cairns. Further north in my own country than I’d ever travelled before. Feeling like Byron ordered to warmer climes for his health, trying to channel HST in this photo: Sun was bathed in, tunes were listened to and words were typed. I wrote […]
Read more "Holidaze in Cairns"It’s back! I had such a blast in 2008 I’ve joined the organising committee for this year’s event. It shall be GRAND! As the flyer says, tickets go on sale at the end of the month. Artists, bands, performers in general will be announced on the website. EXCITING!
Read more "Euchronia 2010"In short the five days of WorldCon was like being a kid running around in a mindcandy store. It’s the biggest and best Con I’ve ever been too; now that I’ve tasted WorldCon I want moar! Unfortunately, due to ongoing health issues, I didn’t get to make it to many of the after hours social […]
Read more "quick WorldCon summary"The killer robots are beating down the front door while the mutant hordes gather at the back; your emotional inhibitor is on the fritz again and your computer has started calling you “Dave”; the world outside is a burning wasteland but that’s OK, there’s an ice age right around the corner; so climb into your […]
Read more "Continuum 6 – Future Tense"Wow, has it really been thirteen days since a whirlwind of a weekend began? An event six months in the planning that felt like it passed in the blink of an eye. Let me try and reconstruct those days from what little was recorded in my long-term memory during a period of sleep deprivation, mixed […]
Read more "vague memories of Continuum 5"One of the hats I’ve been wearing this year is Guest Liaison for Continuum 5 – Galaxies by Gaslight. It’s now just a few weeks away (August 14 – 16), and as the program‘s solidified I’ve managed to wrangle my way onto four panels as well: Visions of the Future How will we have to […]
