other sites

[i am a camera]
A more confessional journal than this one, updated more frequently, always accompanied by a real-time cellphone photo. Maintained at my VOX account, using their excellent mobile client for Palm. RSS-enabled.

[randomvideo]
Two- to five-minute video reports from random events in my day-to-day life: gallery openings, indie-rock shows, drunken parties with my friends and the like. Recorded on my cellphone, a Treo 650, uploaded at a later date to my account at YouTube.com. RSS-enabled.

[randomaudio]
The same as [randomvideo] but with audio only, and posted in real time using cellphone technology, via Odeo.com. RSS-enabled; can be used in such podcasting software as iPodder and iTunes.

[flickr]
Candid photos from my day-to-day life in Chicago and elsewhere, courtesy of Flickr.com. RSS-enabled. I am also now maintaining a separate page there as well, tracking just my favorite images from other photographers.

[fabb]
A promotional website and blog for Fabb, the "virtual prefabricated housing" company I run within the strange videogame Second Life. Includes regular free tutorials on the SL building process.

[social bookmarks]
Each day I post 5 to 15 links online to other interesting things I've found on the web, over at my account at del.icio.us. A good option for those who want to find out what in the general culture interests me these days, in that I rarely post outside links here at my personal site. RSS-enabled.

The Jason Pettus Superfeed: One insanely busy RSS feed tracking 12 different places online that I update often -- not only my four blogs, but my Flickr and YouTube accounts, del.icio.us and LinkedIn too, my latest book reviews at GoodReads, my latest favorites at Google Reader, my movie queue list at Netflix, and my current status on GTalk. Maintained by the free service FriendFeed.com.

HOW DARE YOU
Mr. Luplow

HOW DARE YOU
pretend that
Bukowski
is the
only way
to be
a writer

HOW DARE YOU
live in
Uptown just
so you
could be
closer to
the heroin

HOW DARE YOU
Mr. Luplow,
how dare you

HOW DARE YOU
Mr. Luplow,
HOW DARE YOU
deride me
for being
cursed with
a suburban
childhood so
that like
the Calvanists
I was
predestined never
to be
a writer

HOW DARE YOU
tell us
that you
had kicked?

and
HOW DARE YOU
Mr. Luplow,
HOW DARE YOU
think that
the only
way for
a writer
to be
good is
for a
writer to
die

HOW DARE YOU
not learn
Mr. Bukowski's
most important
lesson, that
if you
live through
it you
will enjoy
immortality a
lot more

HOW DARE YOU
assume that
you had
to be
a martyr
to the
war without
anyone knowing
who you
were

and
HOW DARE YOU
Mr. Luplow,
HOW DARE YOU
make me
care about
you anyway?
