This Week #22

Nothing about me this week, just the good stuff. Here’s what my friends did:

Nick Douglas made an appearance on the Martha Stewart show, talking about Twitter Wit.

Corey Lewis has created a video trailer for Seedless, his weekly webcomic about mecha-battlin’ grapes.

Melissa Gira Grant started a new diary and read excerpts to anyone who showed up in person to hear them. After creating some work that was decisively not for the Internet, she reflected on the experience … on her blog.

Brendan McGinley released the first installment of a comic he first told me about a couple of years ago: Citizen X. According to Brendan, “The mini-series follows a young policeman, Rakh al’Gadriel, as he is sent to the empire’s western frontier, a small town in what we know as Ireland. The frustrated young man must prove he can control the rising tensions between settlers and natives, but no one can keep a lid on human nature.”

Amanda Lee just jumped into the fall/winter season at her Etsy store — I Love Life, I Love You — with a new project, 30 Knits in 30 Days. She’s already made some fantastic wristwarmers. She has also made me a hat, which is not one of the 30 Knits, but which I am nonetheless quite excited about!

and I’ll leave you with some music. This is a video for Max Tundra’s Which Song, made by sole band member Ben Jacobs for £22. His off-kilter keyboard pop and winning lyrics have captured me this week. If you like Which Song, I highly recommend you snag the LP, Parallax Error Beheads You.
