[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.

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.

All the dykes
Ballad of the battles lost
Blah blah
Celebrating with dignity
Chicago mantra
The dog who loved too much
Down with the pigeons
A found poem that demonstrates my lack of faith in humanity
How dare you, Mr. Luplow
How to tell you're about to turn thirty
I wanna be your spleen
In Excalibur
A job I'd really like to have
Jokes my grandpa used to tell me
A man
Missouri dreams
The night we pretended we were married
The only homeless person I've ever given money to
An open letter to Jerry Springer
Poetry on the el
The potential, the kinetic
Princess my princess
Scraping the sky
She's eating a bagel
Sitting in the coffeehouse now
Skylab is falling, the chicken told me
They can have my Macintosh when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers
Two minutes to talk with Jack Kerouac
Typing on keyboards in bars
The very first time I ever performed at the Green Mill poetry slam
Well, Steve Albini was nice to me
What really happened between the end of The Empire Strikes Back and the beginning of Return of the Jedi
