Verwirrung Blog roundtable discussion

[LMNO]

Ok, I've got two rants, and that boston.com article on ways to hallucinate w/o drugs could turn into something.

Plus, I can always rip a few hundred words on BIP, Architecture, Reconstruction, Shrapnel, et al.

One of my first thoughts was to actually go on a one-man Safari to the same kind of model as we did the first one. Spend a couple of weeks on fairly obscure forums, get a taste for what they're like, and write up a post on the good and the bad shit as well as the interesting and weird, link them back to their review and then move on.

Which leaves everything fairly wide open as far as content from blog-post to blog-post goes, and I could maybe find some really good shit out there.

I love it!

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I don't write well as I sure everyone knows by now, but I have done research and such in the past with good results and I can do that for anyone who wants certain shit looked up and such.  Just pop me a PM and tell me what you are looking for and I'll search it out and PM you the links and passages!

If, of course, that would be of any help to anyone.

I can look for info sources on related topics, if you want.  A few key words on google alerts and some RSS feeds should give you more than enough material on future trends in those areas.

PLEASE TO BE NOTING:

I am still collecting essays for the Golden Sphere of Possibility... articles on 'other possible models' including shrapnel etc would be awesome.

Also to RWHN, Payne and others who have written on shrapnel, ruts etc ... I'd love content from you all

Now returning this to Intermittens forum...

I'm willing to take the religious watch theme.  I'll have to learn how to bite my tongue though.

Cool, I thought that would interest you.  I mean, you can poke fun at them and stuff, that is what religion is for, I just didn't want to go down the whole God is not Great route, by keeping it quirky and humourous.  But I'm sure you can do that very easily anyway.

Well, I knew that you knew it would interest me...  or something.  And you know I'm not a big fan of the Hitchens "Kill all the fidels" route.  Life would be boring if we didn't have idiots to laugh at.

Anyways, I've already got an idea for my first post.  I can have it written up by tomorrow night.  When are we planning on going through with the New Path Forward?

[Cramulus]

For now I'd say write up your entry and Save it. Then we can deploy them when we have some loose charade of a posting schedule.

I'd be willing to write some thing on biology here and there, on bioweirdness, etc, I do it around here anyway, so might as well get some of that onto the blog, yah know?

[LMNO]

I'd really like to see this.

That would be cool.  Especially if you had anything on biohacking, or the intersection between biology and futurism (potential future uses of biology to improve our daily lives etc).

So long as you have the time, of course.  I know you have a pretty heavy schedule.  But even if you threw up the best/weirdest/most interesting science news of the month or something, that would be cool.

I'm going to confer with Cram more today on the networks we can use to promote Verwirrung as well.  Once I've had another coffee, because damn do I need it.

I need some tea, myself. I don't really know much more about the biohacking movement except what has been posted on here. If I see anything on either though, I'll be sure to post something. I got more than enough time to throw up a post here and there.

If nothing else, I'll spend this weekend drawing up links for everyone to put in their RSS feeds, which should be full of information on the subject of your interest.  I'm pretty good at finding information, after all.

[LMNO]

Looks like I might have some free time to start backloading some articles.


When are we starting the 2x/week assault, anyway?

[Cain]

Once we've drawn up the networking plans and RSS feeds.  Call it a week, maybe longer.

Also, before I go, do you guys have any particular names you want for your segments?  Because I'll put those in as categories.  And do you want any particular categories or blogroll links putting up?

[Cramulus]

Do you think I'd be watering down my topic too much if I add "The Strange Times" to my discussion? This would consist of examining the weird interactions between subcultures and the people who create an identity out of really weird feedback loops. For example, I'd love to review events like this:



---but I worry that's pretty disparate from my Pranks, Jakes, and Games topic...



As for my column's name, I was thinking along the lines of "Participation Encouraged" or some other participatory meme. Something a bit catchier though. "Adventures in the Strange Times"  seems fun, though a bit straight forward... thinking more on this

Each of us should probaby write an introductory post which introduces you and your topic matter, to kick off your column.
