Gary Unblinking Stock tells us that mnftiu.cc’s new Get Your War On is out. The strip is proof of the genius of telling the truth.

Brian Dear has started a blog, called Nettle, about design and marketing.

Nollind Whachell has started a blog. His initial entries are dominated by personal thoughts about the promise and peril of the Net’s openness. His professional background is in the gaming industry (Sierra, not Vegas).

Likewise, Mike Melduke has begun blogging, primarily about the financial side of life, such as a comparison of Elvis and the bull market.

Finally, Andrew Hinton has given Small Pieces Loosely Joined an excellent review (in both senses) over at Boxes and Arrows.In the first sense, it’s a long and thoughtful engagement with the ideas in the book. In the second sense, he says things such as “… if you think you’re an architect of anything vaguely Internet-related, you should read this book.” Thank you, Andrew.

And, one-past-finally, Carole Guevin at netdiver.net blogs and recommends Andrew’s review. Carole is also involved with AfterChaos, a new media collective: “Afterchaos is a new concept collaborative lab whose core vision + mission is to explore, theorize and prove new business models to apply to our new media industry.”

Two-past finally, I’ve joined BlogCritics. The site’s looking really good. Now I just have to remember to blog some criticism.

And finally finally, at blogtree I’ve listed RageBoy and Doc as my blog’s parents. Careful readers will observe that the date of my initial blog — see the bottom of this page — predates RB’s. But he has threatened me with an unspecified form of public humiliation if I don’t admit he is my daddy. And it’s certainly true that RB’s holding me up as the posterboy of Not Getting It about weblogs (unmerited though that honor was) spurred me to start blogging seriously…after having watched Doc for years showing what a blog could be. Besides, who wouldn’t be proud to admit that he’s RageBoy’s love child? So, thanks for the years of abuse, RB. I take it as an honor.
