Metapost


From Warren Ellis's Doktor Sleepless
Here.

What am I to do when I'm too tired to blog? Metapost! So, to whet your appetite(s), gentle reader(s), later on Ich Bin Ein Oberliner:

(1) Brian Wood reads my blog, part 2.


(2) I get taken to task by some random conservative blogger and his commentators for my anti-Americanism (no, seriously).


(3) I steal three different professor's books (sorry, professors). This one isn't really blogworthy; I just think it's ridiculous.


(4) Warren Ellis is trying to make the jump from author to, I don't know, transhumanist? techno-punk? some kind of internet, techno-dude guru. Yeah, I'll have to work on this one.


(5) A friend shows me a website that can tell me how to be a hipster (as if I need the help... Privileged white guy? Check. Studying probably-useless degree(s) at a small liberal arts college? Check. Reads comics book--but no superheroes? Check. You get the idea...)


(6) I wade through the 130-odd posts that have built up in my RSS reader and try to say something coherent and timely about the state of politics and bitch that I have to use my neighbor's wireless to get on the internet.


I've got my work cut out for me. Best get ready.
