oublio: most popular stuff on the internet
I made a site and I thought MeFi might find it interesting: It shows the most popular image on Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and Flickr in real time, as well as the most popular videos on YouTube each day: www.oublio.com. Now you can waste time on social media more efficiently!

100 Ways To Write Badly Well
Three years ago, I started a blog (as announced previously on Projects). Now that blog is a book, in both paperback and ebook form. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help and support of MeFi. Thanks everyone!

UnicodeForUs is a repository of fun unicode symbols
I wanted to make a repository of fun symbols like ☃, ★, ☁, and ✈ (snowman, star, cloud and airplane) that wouldn't become inundated with ads or disappear off the web after a year. So then I did. Check it out, and add your own if you like!

Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots? Anthology
I have an essay in Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore's newly published anthology Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?: Flaming Challenges to Masculinity, Objectification, and the Desire to Conform. Samuel R. Delaney had this to say about the book: "Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore's coruscating eye and clear head is what queers need if we are to survive as anything other than a tamed branch of consumer society, based on assimilation, repression, and despair. These essays come like a plunge into a forest pool of revitalizing joy, honesty, and common sense. Read them. Now. No—not tomorrow. Now!"

Blocked on Weibo
Chinese words like foot fetish, Islam, and march are or were blocked on Sina Weibo, China’s version of Twitter. For two months last year, I used a Ruby script to uncover about a thousand of these blocked words. I've posted some of them on a website I created with short little entries on why they are blocked.

Drawings in Berlin
I'm in Berlin for a few months. In order to fight my general urge to be a homebody, and because my other work usually has me sitting in front of a computer for hours on end, I'm making sure to go out and draw around the city every day. This blog tracks the progress.

Crabouiller Record Company
Crabouiller Record Company is my new record label. Today marks the release of my new record, a self-titled 12-inch LP. I'm super happy with it! It's been a long time coming.
This music dates back to 2003-2005 and is now finally seeing the light of day as a very short run (100 copies!) of beautifully pressed vinyl. Each record comes in hand-printed (by yours truly) jackets in archival sleeves with a hand-numbered woodblock printed insert. Truly a labor of love, these.
The goal of the label in brief: Release experimental and electroacoustic LPs and CDs in attractive, handmade packaging accompanied by free high-quality digital downloads.

The Complainist
My friend and I have been writing to companies for years now, pretending to be a middle aged woman who lives somewhere in the US with her husband and her two children. We started writing in 2002, but recently launched the site and started making more of an effort to write regularly. Linda Wilson often misunderstands a product's intended use, usually takes suggestions from advertisements literally, and always lacks the common sense most of us take for granted.

Ride, Rise, Roar: The New David Byrne Concert Film
This is the first David Byrne concert film since Stop Making Sense, and we premiered it yesterday to a very energetic crowd at SXSW. I built the website on Wordpress and plan to release it as a WP theme in the coming weeks (after a few tweaks to make it a little more general-purpose).

Humans Hanging Out
A brief diversion in Flash made for the most recent Global Game Jam. You play as a robot with a limited vocabulary who must convince a number of humans that it has passed the Turing test. If you succeed, you'll be welcomed into human society as a peer; if you fail, you are sent to Robot Jail.

SuperGameChallenge - bizarre & obscure videogame reviews
Super Game Challenge is simple - a couple of guys sit down with some obscure older console games and play them. Some have said that the result is humorous. You could describe it as MST3K for video games.

Adventures in Subbing
In a recent question over at AskmeFi I was looking for blogs written by subs. I didn't find nearly as many as I wanted to that were still being updated. I'd been thinking about making this anyway, the lack of stuff just confirmed the fact that it needed to be done.

How To Write Badly Well
After years of running poetry workshops, writing editorial reports and teaching creative writing classes, I finally realised what I had been doing wrong – people didn't want advice on how to improve their writing. They just wanted to know how to write badly really well. This blog is for them.

DeathPanels.org: The Disturbing Details Behind Health Care Reform!!1!!
I wanted to make something you could e-mail to your crazy uncle to explain why 1) health reform is sorely, sorely needed in the US and 2) "health reform" isn't code for "gas chambers for the elderly." Here's my attempt.

#tweetcode - telegram codes meet twitter
There was noise last week about a telegraphic code book from 1891 that people used in Historical Times to shorten longer messages to make them cheaper. If "oh man that would be great for twitter!" was one of your top seven responses to that, have I got a site for you!
