Main Dudes of History: Tesla (w/ Special Guest!)
My good buddy Richard asked me to contribute to his side project chronicling The Main Dudes of History - I've weighed in on fan-fave Nikola Tesla with a guest appearance from one of the other Main Dudes for people who just can't get enough:
Nobody ever portrays both of them together as a man in total; he always serves as a better symbol as one or the other. He's the modern avatar of the Roman God Janus, the patron of doorways and new beginnings who symbolized the transition from past to future.
Also, I recently contributed a pithy political statement to The Vomitoria, told in two video clips. Not totally sure it's what they wanted.
Convention Season ‘10
(Job & Internship Fair at DePaul University, downtown Chicago)
I witnessed this sight today, and it got me thinking about the con season that is well underway. Everyone was in costume, everyone was going to get drunk when it was over, and some of the tables were getting really desperate for the attention of passers-by. Funny, though, many of the people at our conventions who believe themselves entitled to a career in the field don't look as much like they get regular sex (cheap joke).
I'll be at C2E2 in Chicago, April 16-18, in case you're wondering. I may or may not be covering the show in some capacity. If you're looking to meet up, drop me a line here or elsewhere! And hey, I don't drink, but I'll be buying drinks for others!
Also, closer to the show, I'll throw up a quick rundown of friends who have tables which you should visit during your time at the con.
At least SOMEBODY noticed…
So, have you guys tried that Mr Tweet site? It's a... I guess it's a social network for Twitter users, which is kind of deliciously redundant, but whatever. But you get direct messages on Twitter when people have been recommended to friend you. And gosh, how could anyone pass this up?
I feel like my career has nowhere to go but down, now. I'm printing this shit out and framing it.
