Attention artists, here’s a brilliant exploration of minimalist art in movie posters. What challenges can you come up with?
There are two kinds of skeptics according to Seth Godin. One is the kind you need.
The US Postal Service will work on Sundays – for Amazon. Not sure how I feel about that exactly. Kind of bad in that it’s favoritism, kind of interested in wondering about government as contractor.
Timm Ferris, self-experimenter, is experimenting in Audiobook publishing of other titles. Hmmm . . . .
The world economy is still being propped up – it’s just not apparent.
A look at automated resume processing – which is fascinating in that it’s add odds with a lot of fancy resumes.

Last week I discussed how we Geeks should work to archive, organize, republish, and propagate our works – and really to encourage people to do something with what they write (or at least the good stuff). Now back to my speculations on the Geek role as a Citizen (and eventually back to this more specific speculation).

And related to publishing? I think a major role of Citizen Geeks is to teach.

Muse Hack Posting – Guardian Comics

November 6, 2013 by Steven Savage

Ethan of Guardian Comics is looking for an author! He needs a lead story writer who can work with him, write dialogue, and give good directions to an artist. He needs the kind of writer who can not just create a script, but explain everything so the artist will know what to draw and there won’t be miscommunication. Talent and imagination is more important than experience. Right now this would be unpaid, but royalties will be part of the negotiation. You can reach him at ethan(at)guardiancomics.co!
