Got a job! Unreality: Bruce Lee, E-readers, and Superteams

[trashcanman]

So there's this site, Unreality, where I've been lurking an terrorizing the comment sections for a few years. The owner put out a call for new writers a while back and I kind of missed having the creative outlet so I went for it. I got it in spite of the webmaster recognizing me and telling me he hated me, which is pretty awesome. So I thought if there is any interest amongst Fortress Dwellers, I might dump my weekly articles here. Here are my first three, published under the bossman's account until he lifts my probabtion:

unrealitymag.com/index.php/2013/04/30/should-we-embrace-the-e-reader-revolution/
(note, that was not my original title, I wanted "Viva la E-revolution?", but the webmaster changed it)

Well, check YOU out. Great news, Trash. So is this site like Cracked and it's "5 worst examples of" type articles? I've not had a chance to take a look at yours (I'm at work, they kinda frown on that) but they look like the sort of thing I'd read anyway. I'll take a look hopefully later tonight. They seem to have got some good responses, anyway.

So yeah - put any links you have to your any other articles on here. Look forward to seeing them.

They use a Cracked-like format, but for the most part they're pretty open. Then boss seems uninterested in anime-related posts in spite of him filling the site with Pokemon all week every week (maybe there's a "12 and under" age limit on his animation tastes), but I'm working on that.

OK, time to read them now.

The Bruce Lee one is actually a great read for what could've been a pretty flimsy premise. Really well written, and I had no idea he said any of that stuff.

E-Readers and Kindles and Nooks and God knows what else.. fuck all that stuff. I'm afraid I'm with the large pointing man in your article. I need a BOOK to read, man. Flipping through the pages, it getting thinner and thinner as you progress, that feeling of completion (and also a weird sort of sadness if it's a REALLY good book) when you close it for the last time.. you're never gonna get that with a digital device.

I'd heard of most of those groups (most from you, come to think of it). The Runaways was one of the best comic book series I'd ever read. For completely new characters, they were incredibly well written, rounded and believable. I don't know if it's still running or not, but they were some great books.

Three great articles, my man. Keep 'em coming.

Bruce Lee has dozens more quotes of that caliber I could have used. He was actually an amazing philosophical mind in addition to everything else. Just an incredible human being all around. Yeah, I here you about the books. There's no way to dissuade somebody who's that entrenched with personal tradition, and that's fine. I still like to buy and read actual books and comics, but there is still a lot to be said for the digital format. I've got some more wildly different articles coming up. Stay tuned.
