Attn. Vancouver ninjas
The Province newspaper has just launched a reading page, for which I'll be writing a regular column, Copy Write. The first one, in which I call for an increase to the GG award amounts, appears in today's paper. It's subscription-only, I'm afraid.

Shrapnel update
William Gibson's return to blogging has inspired me to post more regularly on my Shrapnel blog, which collects weird and weirder stuff that doesn't always fit Bookninja. I'm going to try to post on a daily basis, although I think I'm going to limit it to one post a day. I do have a job after all. And more to the point, I haven't figured out a way to post from work yet.

I'm also considering adding a comment option to Shrapnel, but I haven't decided on that yet as it does add a bit of time to posting. If you think you'd like to put your two cents in about giant squids, sex dolls, gang tattoos and/or video games, let me know. (discuss)

Character Assasination
In honour of the upcoming U.S. election, I decided to devote my latest Ottawa Citizen column to politics and literature. My favourite part is the Rush Limbaugh bit:


Limbaugh went so far as to dedicate a section of his radio show to Checkpoint, which he called an example of the "vile hatred" of the left and the "dog Democrats." In the same broadcast, and without any apparent sense of irony, Limbaugh urged a journalism student to write an article in which her left-leaning professor is shot down by the Secret Service after a botched assassination attempt -- motivated by the fact she is a Democrat "concubine" and had read Al Gore's book Earth in the Balance, which focuses on saving the environment. If this were fiction, nobody would believe it.


I really wanted to end the column with Cummings' "next to of course god america i," but I was afraid people wouldn't get it.
