Wold Wold World

Thanks to our friends at Groovy Age of Horror, we have two spiffy links while I actually go about the job of writing for a living today.

Faceless is the very interesting retro -- in both art style and writing style -- comic adventure of Terry Sharp, 60's horror director and two-fisted Satanist smasher. Jolly good fun. If it continues you can count me in on a subscription.

Win Eckert not only has his Big Book of Wold Newton coming out (pre-order now), he also has a blog. I had no idea. The blog is a wee more streamlined than the main Wold Newton site, and so I find it a bit more entertaining/useful/useful for entertaining.

And from Gizmodo, we find that the Japanese are bringing hard-core porn to the PSP. This is an extension, of course, to the *2nd Law of Marketing: Porn Drives Technology.

Photography, magazine printing, home movie equipment both camera and projectors, the evolution of video cameras, VCR's, cable, the Interweb -- all advanced in tech and exploded into the mainstream as soon as their usefulness to getting porn from over there to over here became apparent. If it allowed you to make your own porn -- well then, gold mine. So I say, march on, merchants of filth! March on, into ... the FUTURE!


* The 1st Law of Marketing: Nail any two random pieces of wood together, into any random configuration, and some idiot, somewhere ... will buy it.

i don't know if it's an old wives' tale or not, but ...

after gutenberg developed his printing press, and others copied his technology, among the first books to be printed were bibles ... and erotica.
