My site is under construction.
My blog was ugly and desperately lacking in updates, so I decided to take it offline. Then I thought it would be a good idea to let people know it was under construction. Then I got a bit carried away. Powered in part by AskMeFi.

LIE BLOG
I started a blog full of lies. Very silly non-realities pop into my head all day, so I've started to write them down.

Lotería!
Lotería is a Mexican game, similar to Bingo. I've made my own deck, with all original subject-matter—see here for other traditional and non-traditional Lotería decks. My cards are now for sale and make a fine conversation piece. They're also neat-looking. The cards can be ordered here.

Brad Story: Aerodreams Sculpture
My dad, a former wooden boatbuilder, is now a sculptor. I've made a website to display his work, which I think is abstract and fascinating. (The sculpture, not the website.)

Chit-Chat of Humor, Wit, and Anecdote
"A mixture of fact, fun, fancy, philosophy, and freaks of adventure." Blogging a humor book from 1857 (hot on the heels of this other Victorian joke blog). Updated daily.

140x140
I've started a Twitter account with one goal in mind: Creating the perfect account. So I'm writing 140 entries, each 140 chars exactly, while all entries regard one thing only: Twitter itself. This is an experiment in writing, user experience, social media theory, and useless fun. Check out 140x140. RT your support! :)

Animal Puppets, Burlesque Theater, etc. (NSFW)
This is my recently retooled, tragically under-publicized online portfolio of paintings and works on paper. While this may look like a vanity posting, I really do welcome constructive feedback (particularly on the artist's statement!)

The Rumpus
The Rumpus is fully live and launched. We're a month old now. We officially launched on January 20. We were in Beta for six weeks before launch and I announced The Rumpus here during that phase. The idea behind The Rumpus is to create a frequently updated culture magazine (as opposed to a pop culture magazine) that takes art, literature, music, and film seriously. Also, a place that publishes good writing. We're not driven by the news cycle or marketing. For example, we consider any book out less than a year to be a new book and will review it that way (here's a manifesto from the books editor). The Rumpus is divided into three sections, Around The Web, Rumpus Originals (usually reviews and interviews but also some personal essays), and blogs. The blogs are only updated like once a week and each one is about something. Like Rick Moody has a blog that's only about hard to find, generally self-published indie-music, and Brian Schwartz has a literary sports blog. I'd appreciate any feedback people might have.

Webzine of Unpublishable Prose and Art
The Orphan is incomplete, moloch-less, disrespected, bizarre, and roundly rejected. It's dedicated to publishing the otherwise unpublishable: chunks of abandoned novels, beautiful screw-ups, marketless short stories, a few pages where the muse deigns to visit then lights off for the territories... The net is wide. The first issue features, among others, Rudy Rucker and David Markson.

A Stereoscopic Pair of Oil Portraits
This is my semi-finalist entry for the 2009 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The piece consists of a stereoscopic pair of oil portraits and a hand built viewer. When one views the paintings through the viewer, the images merge to form a 3D image much like that of an old Viewmaster toy. The subject of the portrait is writer and albinism advocate Andrew Leibs. There will be another round of judging in May, and if the piece makes the cut it will appear in the triennial competition show in the fall of '09.

COPYLEFT -- a long poem
This poem, still in progress, has been growing by one quatrain a day since the day after Thanksgiving, 2007, and I'm posting it here in celebration of its one year anniversary. It comes with its own "about" section, which outlines my sort of skeletal intentions for its life cycle.

Symmetry explorer
Here's a little project I've been working on this week. It grabs photos from Flickr on any subject you like (e.g. kittens, or other fluffy things) and then presents them as pairs of mirrored halves. (If that makes no sense now, it will when you vist the site! :-) ) The results can end up quite weird and strange. :-) Here are a few of my favourites... (Thin/Fat cat) / (Fluffy dog thing) / (Seen my head(s)?)

The Venerable Bédé: an English-language resource focused on European comics
Initially thought of as a sort of online sidebar to a column I'm writing on bande dessinée (European comics, most commonly Franco-Belgian) for a North American comics magazine, this project just kept growing in scope and scale as I looked and looked for current, engaging English-language information on European comics and found that there just isn't much out there.

Fruit Slinger: Behind the scenes at the orchard and the farmers market
For two summers I've worked for an heirloom fruit orchard, mostly at Chicago farmers markets, but also on the farm in Southwestern Michigan. Back when I was a market customer, I always asked myself what it would be like to work on the other side of the table. So last season I decided to keep a blog and tell the story. (The short answer: difficult but fun, with incredible quantities of free fruit.) In the run-up to the start of market season next week, I'm posting a selection of entries from last year. Next week, the markets start up and the blog will begin another season.

The Invention of the Letter
-- a rare hand-drawn book by Beat poet and Zen teacher Philip Whalen. Though lesser-known than his peers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, Whalen was a wonderful and subtle poet who was also one of the first Americans to study Zen in Japan. (He appears in Kerouac novels like The Dharma Bums under pseudonyms like Warren Coughlin and Ben Fagin, "a quiet, bespectacled booboo, smiling over books.") He met Gary Snyder and Lew Welch at Reed College, where he studied calligraphy with the illustrious Lloyd Reynolds. While in Kyoto in 1966, Whalen sketched out a charming fable about the invention of language in the Garden of Eden that was eventually published by pioneering communard Irving Rosenthal and given away for free at a 1968 reading in San Francisco. The Invention of the Letter has since become extremely scarce and is now available online for curious scholars and Beat fellow travelers.

Bizarre Grandville Illustrations Archive
JJ Grandville, a French cartoonist in the mid 1800's drew some deeply weird stuff. I've got some old books of his drawings and, noticing the paucity of his presence on the internet, decided to scan a bunch of it and stick it online, free of use to anyone (the man having died more than a hundred and fifty years ago). The resulting archive is here (and actually only about a quarter of what I've physically got, I'm trying to build up energy for a second round of scanning sometime soon). It's part of a miscellany section on my finally finished website. The misc section also has some collections of old folding postcards and my Syrian stamp collection. And hey! I've got comics and illustrations (that I've done) up there too!

Two Tits and a Vote
A website designed to help women translate quick online activities into real-world political activism. For the first campaign, we're rallying for better access to breast health care for women in Ireland. You can sign the petition in under a minute, download and personalise and print a letter in under 5, or buy the world's most awesome postcard ever online and we'll put your text on it and post it off to the Minister for Health for you. Send booby postcards to a politician - you know you've always wanted to! But most importantly, make your tax euros and your vote count towards demanding the services women need, where we want them.
