Well, actually, it’s here — the cartoon was soon seized upon by programmers who made it reality. It can randomly produce gems like this:
Your title is: “The Revebots”
In a dystopian terraformed Mars, a young wisecracking mercenary stumbles across a dusty tome which spurs him into conflict with forces that encourage conformity, with the help of a female who inexplicably becomes attracted to the damaged protagonist for unstated reasons and her welding gear, culminating in a daring rescue preceding a giant explosion.
In theaters in the summer of 2011.
I actually intend to take a crack at NaNoWriMo this year, but won’t use this site unless I get really desperate.
So, it turns out that two of my friends from high school are writers for one of my favorite shows, completely unknown to me. (This is completely awesome, don’t get me wrong.) I participated in theater in middle school and high school, but no longer do creative work. With two other exceptions (both of whom work for non-profit groups trying to influence policy, interestingly), everyone else seems to have kept their hand in creatively, working as photographers, working in theater professionally or doing community theater.

Although it’s occurring under bad circumstances, the best new music (or alternative/modern rock, whatever you want to call it) podcast is back. Dave Cusick’s That Sound Radio podcast is now in catch-up mode, after six months “off” while he worked as a disc jockey.
That means there’s three hours of the best music released over the past six months and change, all ready for the listening:
For those of you — and you know who you are — who haven’t listened to a new artist (or, worse yet, a new song or album) since you graduated college, listen to these three hours of music and be dazzled by how much awesome new stuff has come out in 2009 alone. Some of the songs are even free MP3s at the links above.
Great stuff. Cusick’s too good at what he does to not be snatched back up by the radio industry again soon, so enjoy it while it lasts.
