March 18, 2001

OH, I'M BURNIN', ALL RIGHT: I've got a fairly heavy crush on the guy in the new Apple "Rip. Mix. Burn." ad. Anybody have any idea who he is?



BEHIND THE BOOK: William J. Mann talks about his forthcoming Behind the Screen, Between the Lines: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood in the Studio Era. (Mann's debut novel, The Men From the Boys was a pretty good read.)

Among the things you don't expect to find on a jukebox in Texas is anything by Pansy Division. But my friends, Austin is not your typical Texas city and queercore like this can happily co-exist on the juke with The Ramones, Dixie Chicks and Huey Lewis. If they hadn't kicked us out, we'd be playin' pool and pushing quarters in the slot yet today.

ON APRIL 1, I'LL BE AT COMPUSA: Here's a clever prank. Replace the sample output sheets in display model printers with ones of your own. [swiped from Cardhouse]

GHETTO RAINBOW: Yes, of course. It was bound to happen. Gay gangsta rap. Hey, I ordered the greatest hits. The Flash videos are pretty phat too. [where does Halcyon find these wonderful toys?]

META: No fewer than five e-mail nags arrived in my inbox today, so I took a few minutes to tidy up the sidebar link list. Not that I ever use it myself anymore. But you should, because they're all nifty sites. Uh huh. By the way, don't expect much from me in the next couple of weeks. I'm busy separating content from design. Anybody got a digital colander I can borrow?

CamWorld: "Let me tell you: It's much much easier to build a new site from scratch when you don't have any legacy data to deal with." That it is.

SIGH: Why does he get to be the smart and pretty one? It's just not fair. There's something soooo soopa-sexy about a well-read man, n'est pas? Anyway, all I'm saying is I can never get enough Jonno. Try a little, and soon you'll feel the same way.

There's a nice feature interview with Lanford Wilson in today's Post about our just-opened production of Talley's Folly.
