on the engines of enlightenment:

journal of an aids shaman

notes from the shaman --

august 10

well, it's been a busy time warp.

first of all, i am now first rider and volunteer pr coordinator for the la caravan of heroes to washington with the campaign to end aids in october. part of my plan has been to report from the road on this blog myself. now there may be up to a hundred writers and bloggers on the caravan writing and informing los angeles about the state of aids in the world, in the nation, and in ourselves.

call for a hundred heroes

next, the site has migrated to a new address, which is the gift of peter dobson at aids.org. the new unbrella site for eoe and a number of other projects (including the bloggers on the way to washington). is aids-write.org, and i am also very excited about the possibilities it represents.

the entire eoe site has gone through refribbing--now i know what all that "technical stuff" is that people are always tinkering with. the hit counter, the guest book, the moon calendar, the comments subroutine, the links. but now i have a leg up on dreamweaver.

the other recent posts include a preview of what is going to be an interesting series of reports on tattooed society. it all started with jerry's angl tattoo at the christopher street west parade. interesting pictures on jerry's & mikey's creative process for the tattoo.

coming up: a series of posts on tattooed society

i've excerpted another chapter from psalms of captain saint lucifer:

psalms of captain saint lucifer: emily

finally, we have been fast and furiously comparing aids to diabetes in our efforts to calm ourselves. but how do diabetics see their community and themselves? this is pulled together from a d-life reader survey

responses to d-life's reader survey

so it's not like i haven't been writing. i have been to busy to post anything.

i don't have the oomph to archive and summarize tonight. i'll catch it next time.

 

july 27

a blossoming discussion about whether aids is really as innocuous as diabetes on the aidsmed site, where johathan's hiv blog lives

response on jonathan's hiv blog: hiv/diabetes comparison thread

 

 

july 22

got the email problem figured out. it waw caused by a service called "spam arrest," which i accidently signed on to when i thought i was only replying to someone else's spam-clearing reply email.

here's a post about a bunch of high school kids writing about medical marijuana.

scrawls on the wall

july 20

when i am writing i often work for 36-48 hours straight and then rest for 12-18 hours. all my circadian clocks are fizzled at the moment though--i was going to take a break, and then started tidying up the site. to relax i guess.

scrawls on the wall

anyway, here's a post from the psalms of captain saint lucifer, a chapter titled "about magic." it is indirectly in response to the aatombomb post; i want to post another (as yet unfocused & untidied) chapter in response to the issue raised, but you have to read this one first.

 

july 17

spent a long time on this, too.

july 10

i labored over this a little too long:

c2ea: response to aatom et al. on aatombomb: cluck cluck

 

july 9

two chapters are now up from psalms of captain saint lucifer:

 

pcsl: asterisk

pcsl: life with aids

 

there are a number of posts i am working on. i expect to have posts from pscl (psalms of captain saint lucifer) later today or tonight, and there are too many posts i am working on at the same time. i am also scrambling with a number of dreamweaver issues.

 

july 7, 2005

i have to do some cleanup on the site--getting more of the pages into the new format, getting details on resources listed, and i'm begining to notice too many typos. the washington post article was too much to pass up, though.

sunday, june 19

two posts today. i'd been kicking the log cabin post around in my head and it finally gelled this evening, so it was fairly easy to get it written:

eoe5-009 log cabin republicans are political barebackers.

the political links list started out as a project i thought i'd knock off in a couple of hours, and ended up taking all day. but if you can't please yourself, who can you please?

eoe5-008 tools for personal activists (that's you & me): links to congress, advocacy groups & political parties

 

truncation begins here.

friday, june 17

join me and the campaign to end aids in washington, dc, this october.

the opening six-pack

try and read these in order

  1. eoe-5-001 the war that can't be won
  2. eoe-5-002 how bosnian of me
  3. eoe-5-003 cultural crisis: what better chains bind us?
  4. eoe-5-004 alert: actos (pioglitazone)
  5. eoe-5-005 lots of loot
