This month, Good Magazine has a profile of the notorious Sean Bonner and the Metblogs network. As a part of the piece, they’ve done a small sidebar and link to the Spoon River Metblog.

Thanks to Sean and to Alissa, who wrote the piece.

Ripples are starting to show on the surface of the water. The Fish is getting ready to breach once more. So keep your eyes on this space for updates in the very near future.

“The Good Captain” comes to an end.

After four months (!) The Good Captain finally concluded tonight. It’s been a fascinating journey, and it leaves me totally pumped for the next one. You can find the story archived on this site, by clicking any of the Good Captain links. They’ll lead to this page. Now, it’s time to start my presentation for BarcampLA5, which begins tomorrow. A perfect bookend. Perhaps this will become a habit, launching and closing at BarCamp. So the Loose-Fish will turn its attention away from the world of Melville (although not forever - there’s still a big whale waiting out there. It tasks me. It heaps me,) and enter the fascinating domain of America’s second most successful poet of all time, the complex, flawed and utterly human Edgar Lee Masters. Spoon River, here we come.

“The Good Captain” invited to ISEA2008

Jay Bushman — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:02:29 +0000

I found out today that “The Good Captain” has been invited to be exhibited at the International Symposium on Electronic Art 2008, as an Artist’s Presentation.
The ISEA is a biannual conference devoted to academic and artistic developments in digital and interactive media. The previous conference was held in San Jose in 2006, and here are some of the people who participated.

I’m honored and somewhat staggered to be included in such company. Now I just have to figure out if I can get to Singapore in July.
