Twitter and Monstrous Dolls

2008-10-01T22:34:00.001-07:00

Recently, I decided to do a few things to be a bit more sociable online. This blog is one of those things. Also, I signed up on Twitter, which is a sort-of mini-blog on the topic of "What are you doing?".

A little while later, I logged back in to post an update and found that someone was following me (I'm not paranoid, that's what they call subscribing to your posts on Twitter). I figured it was like what I call "friend spam" on MySpace.

I was surprised and delighted to see that my first "follower" makes unique dolls, some of them rather monstrous. At this writing the front page features a Christmas ornament with an odd Santa head, on what looks like a seahorse.

Check out the Whimsical & Strange Art of D. Kirkpatrick for yourself. There's also a photostream on Flickr.

Specter-Reclamation / EPA Battle

A New York City-based specter-reclamation firm has been shut down by the Environmental Protection Agency despite a "massive increase in paranormal phenomena" in recent weeks. Employees have been arrested including rising paranormal star Dr. Peter Venkman.

After reading this article, I couldn't resist sharing it with my readers. It's my first link to a humorous article. Hope you enjoy.

Blog Two

2008-09-29T06:51:00.000-07:00

While working on my main blog, The American Yeti Blogger, there are many things I'd like to post that aren't in the spirit of the website, so I discard them. Recently, I linked to a humorous article on The Onion and it just felt completely out of place.

By having an external blog on Blogger, it should help a bit with finding new readers who wouldn't otherwise find me. And I can keep my topics focused for those who subscribe to my main RSS feed who don't want to read the off-topic stuff.

So here we go.
