I have a reading this Thursday (August 30th) at Poison Girl. It's me with other people. I do not know the other people. They are hopefully nice. I am reading for NANO Fiction. I don't know what time it starts. Probably around seven or so. Maybe later. I have a Spanish class on that night, and just realized this. I will be reading a selection of my published work, which you can read online by clicking on this paragraph.

I designed the new NANO Fiction site, because they are nice, and it is good to support nice people who do nice things in your community. I recommend that people do this sort of thing if they have some kind of unique skill set and free time. Click on this paragraph, and you can go to NANO Fiction. If you write short fiction, you should submit to them.

I just posted the newest bear parade book, COMPASSIONATE MOOSE by Mazie Louise Montgomery. I am very happy with it. Mazie Louise Montgomery is a nice person, and I hope I did a good job for her. You can see the book by clicking on this paragraph. If you are the editor of another online site, you should consider stealing our format, because it is nice and good and focused. I give you permission.

I have a new poem on 3am. By clicking on this segment of text, you can go there and read it.

I photoshopped a picture for The Man Who Couldn't Blog. Matthew Simmons is a nice person. I have read his collected short works, and I had a nice time reading them. I wish that I had done a better job on photoshopping the picture, but it's hard to find a picture of a curved bicycle horn at a decent resolution. The story is nice. Matthew is good at what he does. Click on this paragraph to see the post.

The NANO design is nice and minimalist. Very good job on that. It looks like an interesting magazine. I like the 300-word limit.

thanks, craig.

the short-form short story grows more powerful.

long-form short story writers are losing sleep, and calling their agents, and trying to write less than 5,000 words now. we are winning the war.

we are awesome! i have a 500-word limit at Rumble. reading huge columns of text on the web is not optimum.

yesterday i discovered gmail had deleted a giant chunk of e-mails, for no reason. i read on the web that this happened in 2006, possibly to people who were surfing using Firefox 2.0.

i don't know.

this is bad. even e-mails that were forwarded from gmail, were deleted in the gmail account.

i didn't think this was possible.

tell your friends to be careful.

that's fucked.

are you maxed-out on space, or was this just glitch?

i think there is a way to backup gmail.

i'm not sure it's possible to be maxed out on space at gmail, unless you are receiving heavy files.

i messed up. the e-mails were not deleted, after all. what happened was, i had logged into a different gmail account, and sort of panicked, seeing few e-mails. i was in the wrong account.

i am a fuckhead.

gmail is secure, i believe.

this is good, because those were submission e-mails i was worried about.

anyways, your blog is great.
