The G.A.P. is back!

The Great Ape Press is back with a new look. In fact, I'm putting out an open call for anyone who thinks they can design a better one to send it to me. I won't pay you... but I will be appreciative!

Also, send them your stuff. They can be contacted at greatapepress@hotmail.com

What a Great Show


I got this new phone a little while back, and I've been bragging about it ever since. Now, it's not an I-phone or anything, but it was completely free to me and it does a lot more stuff than my old one. One of the great features is that it has MP3 capabilities in conjunction with a Micro SD card slot. What does this mean? It means that I can listen to my phone. Nothing too terribly new, I know, but I just finished using it to listen to the greatest radio program of all time whilst getting my morning work done.

For those of you who haven't yet experienced This American Life... I cannot explain what you are missing. Enlightenment awaits you, don't let it down. I know it won't be too long before you're subscribing to the weekly free podcast because you have to work on Saturdays at noon.

Anyway, my point is that TAL and my new phone are like chocolate and peanut butter (for those of you who don't know, I believe this is man's greatest accomplishment... ever!)

I'm really hoping that my library gets the show on DVD!

I've been successfully saddened

Warren Ellis's latest blog post includes a picture that makes me cry on the inside. I can only hope that these people were paid, and paid well, for this.

I would like to spend time explaining the reasons why people who do this type of thing depress me (like they are living in a fantasy world in order to escape the harsh realities of their existence, and that it's all one big lie, etc.), but I'm almost too sad to go on...
