[facebook]
Where I now do the vast majority of my daily online updating, everything from CCLaP notices to silly pop-culture observations. I automatically approve all friend requests!

[i am a camera]
My other personal blog, for thoughts too frivolous for this main site but too wordy for Facebook.

[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.

[youtube]
Two- to ten-minute video reports from random events in my day-to-day life: gallery openings, bicycling guides, drunken parties with my friends and the like. Recorded on my Nikon Coolpix, edited in iMovie. RSS-enabled.

[social bookmarks]
Each day I post 5 to 15 links to other interesting things I've found on the web, over at my account at Google Reader. 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.

Here we go. Again. | May 31, 2007
Well, it's official, almost: Sometime in the next couple of days I will finally be re-activating my arts organization, the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography, now located at the new URL cclapcenter.com. Read all about it today. Plus: Bad news about my Second Life blog; why must Americans turn everything into a joyless exercise in consumerism?; and no, you're not imagining things, I really have been more of an asshole this spring than usual. | Read entire entry

Dreaming of a green St. Louis. | May 19, 2007
For those who don't know, I've been doing a lot of bicycling lately, around to some of Chicago's historic parks; it's had me thinking a lot about the subject of urban renewal, the future of cities, and especially former Industrial-Age giants like St. Louis where I grew up, which are rapidly turning into ghost towns in this Information Age in which we now live. Today, some thoughts about what can possibly be done. | Read entire entry

On being one of those annoying "your body is a temple" fucks. | May 4, 2007
I got a letter the other day from a reader, politely asking that I not turn into one of those smug "your body is a temple" assholes, now that I'm making all these changes to my lifestyle. Oh, don't worry, there's not much chance of that happening! Today, I explain why, and why I'm so fascinated by the human body these days anyway. Plus random notes! | Read entire entry
