I write, mostly fiction but also other less traditional forms, like I tweet a lot<\/a> and Tumbl<\/a> dumb image macros and stuff. And this blog, I suppose, is writing.<\/p>\n Here is an image macro I Tumbld, which has a picture of me. Look at my beautiful blurry face, and now you can picture who is talking to you:<\/p>\n I’m very interested in the internet and its culture, particularly the “art” surrounding it. With my blog here this year I intend to talk a lot about “internet art.”<\/p>\n I feel traditional, IRL art is losing its appeal and relevance. I feel the internet is “where it’s at.” Probably I feel this way because I am mostly interested in literature, and books are a dying art form while internet literature is rising. Maybe other art forms, like paintings or something, are still good IRL.<\/p>\n My favorite book is ‘the internet,’ is my clever answer to “What’s your favorite book?”<\/p>\n Speaking of music, the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor album<\/a> is sweet.<\/p>\n What, we weren’t speaking of music?<\/p>\n Well, I won’t ramble; I know your attention is a scarce resource and, statistically, you are likely to navigate away if confronted with a daunting wall of text.<\/p>\n It is very cool that the University of Michigan provides a space like this for students and art.<\/p>\n I look forward to writing at you.<\/p>\n I want to interact with you online. This blog is a good gateway.<\/p>\n Add me on Twitter<\/a>, Tumblr<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and I will literally talk to you online.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/idSRk.png\" "\\"self-shot\\"")
