As in, the text is small but it’s not writing, per se. Check out Jamie Poole’s portraits made out of shredded poetry. 
Sort of Micrographic
March 11, 2013My Monday
March 11, 2013will be spent watching True Life: I Hate My Face.
“Two young ladies are sickened by the sight of their own face. Will they deal with what they were given? Or, will they change what they can?”
Stay tuned.
Extremely Obvious
March 11, 2013I read this story today on a website so bad it’s embarrassing, and it seems to me so beyond obvious that this is not the whole story.

Greg Rodriguez, the host of A Rifleman’s Journal was shot and killed last night in Montana.
Police say he was enjoying a glass of wine at a female friend’s home when her husband came home and immediately shot and killed him.
The husband then proceeded to beat up his wife, drive her and their two-year-old child over to a relatives house, return to the scene of the crime, and eventually his own life.
Ugh. What a devastating tragedy.
Local sheriffs won’t speculate on the husband’s motive, but they’re confident this is an “open-and-shut” case of murder-suicide.
A Rifleman’s Journal was a popular hunting program on the The Sportsman Channel.

March 1, 2013New Public Service
February 28, 2013I am happy to take on the job of Blog Euthanizer, even though I know no such thing exists yet. I am, however, someone of a prophet when it comes to technological advances in that a few years ago, I predicted the coming of the E-Undertaker, a person who dismantles the social media of someone who passes away. What I would like to do is troll the Internet and destroy blogs that are horribly maintained –– the exact rules will be determined by a tribunal of “experts” who will be gathered together in a conference room at a midtown Marriott some time in April. (To apply, contact Siobhan. You know how to get her.)

February 26, 2013I just picked a wedgie on the street in Borough Park. Waiting for the modesty squad to haul me off. #modestysquadofBPinc
That’s how you do it, right?
File This Under “Duh?”
February 25, 2013According to the Times, science tells us that a “Mediterranean diet” could reduce your risk of heart disease. Somebody back me up here –– wasn’t that common nutritional knowledge by now? (Do we just feel better that we can quantify it?)
Freelancing Opportunities
February 23, 2013CHARISMA MAGAZINE
—
Each year, freelancers write 80 percent of our articles, but we
assign most of these to writers who have established themselves
with us. In most cases, we only give article assignments to writers
with published clips. All Charisma articles, with the exception of
the shorter stories (specified below), should be between 1,800 and
2,500 words in length. More than half our readers are Christians who
belong to Pentecostal or independent charismatic churches, and
numerous others participate in the charismatic renewal in mainline
denominations. Charisma Media is a leading creator of diversified
Christian resources that empowers believers for God’s purpose. Our
vision is to inspire people to radically change their world.

What exactly is an “independent charismatic church?” Anyone?
