Features

Most of these are stand-alone projects from years past that exist on the old version of my site. The design is a carefully crafted nest of tables, lovingly placed on a repeating starry background reminiscent of a night sky. One of these days, I may fix that, but in the meantime, here they are, in all their raw early ‘aughts glory:

• Killing the Mood
  A quixotic, ill-advised, unheeded plea to save the English language’s least useful grammatical mood. You can help!
• Oh, Canada!
  The terrifying true story of an unsuccessful attempt to penetrate the wilds of the Great North (i.e., Toronto). We went to Maine instead.
• Sweaters^TM
  A game of Sweaters^TM is like a game of Chess. Except with a good deal less strategy and a good deal more stylishness. Watch me and Ben duke it out in an exciting battle of wills pullovers.
• Archive
  Or, hell – you could just check out the whole site! There are plenty of great music videos and other stuff to keep you occupied.

There are a number of other projects from my near and distant past dotted around the Web. Some are even (technically) ongoing! Here are a few of the good ones.

• Peep This Diary
  This is an actual 17th-Century blog, insofar as such a thing can be said to be an actual thing. Which, now that I think about it, it probably can’t, really. But it’s as close as anyone in the 21st century is likely to get. (A collaborative project with Sean and Patrick.)
• AntParty United
  An updated, reverse-chron archive of my road-trip blog from 2003. It includes exciting accounts of run-ins with the law and near-death experiences, as well as less-exciting accounts of extremely lengthy drives. (A collaborative project with Jan and other Patrick.)
• Neu Neu Kritker
  New Criticism for the modern era. Modernist criticism for the Postmodern era? We’re still ironing out the details. (A collaborative – and currently much-neglected – project with Patrick.)
