Welcome to the Interdome

The Interdome - You may be a blogger but you ain't no dancer

8/13/2009

Ro-ball

Remember my ranting that included rolling, heavily armed robots?


Well, the future is now.


Feel free to panic.

What is an Interdome?

Welcome to the Interdome is a blog with a whole sidebar full of links and feeds, interconnecting you to the various Internet incarnations and avatars of Adam Rothstein.

With all of these reasons and more, may we re-iterate our slogan: just because 99.7% of Americans claim to have the skill, reading isn't reading unless you're reading this.

User Guide

The main content feed is via Twitter (Welcome to the Twitterdome). Everything interesting will come through there. If you refuse to use Twitter, you can also read it in RSS form.

To the right, is the Interdome space, where the occasional long-form essay is posted. If you only want these vaguely bloggish essays, try the plain ole Interdome RSS.

Below that is RSS feed of Brute Press, my semi-formal homecoming dance self-publishing nexus. Check it out, either feed-wise, or through it's own beautifully minimalist, easily readable site.

If you'd like to see what I've been reading recently, check out the Best of other RSS feed, through my Google Reader. It also has its own RSS feed!

And if that's still not enough, there are some other related Internet project links, the archives, and a list of all the other feeds I'm interested in, and what they've been up to lately.

    "For centuries the situation in literature was such that a small number of writers faced many thousands of times that number of readers. Then, towards the end of the last century, there came a change. As the press grew in volume, making ever-increasing numbers of new political, religious, scientific, professional and local organs available to its readership, larger and larger sections of that readership (gradually at first) turned into writers. It began with the daily newspapers opening their 'correspondence columns' to such people, and it has now reached a point where few Europeans involved in the labour process could fail, basically, to find some opportunity or other to publish an experience at work, a complaint, a piece of reporting or something similar. The distinction between writer and readership is thus in the process of losing its fundamental character. That distinction is becoming a functional one, assuming a different form from one case to to the next. "
