    This Is The Conversation

    March 4th, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 23 Comments

    You and me, we’re having a conversation. We’re standing here in the digital space, jawing away about something or other. Maybe we’re talking about writing. That’s apropos, yeah? The avatars of cars whiz by. Other blogpeople — passersby in this unreal place — hurry past.

    February 23rd, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 45 Comments

    Some weeks back, I mentioned transmedia, blah-blah-blah, and someone asked, “Hey, something-something transmedia?” And I was all like, “Shit yes I can talk about that!”

    Time For A Nice, Light, Uncontroversial Topic… Like, Say, Mm, Religion

    Catholics, from a “personal space” perspective, haven’t ever really bugged me. We have a number of Catholics in our family, as well as a handful of Baptists. All relatively pleasant people.
