Noon Ebe Longs Her Emor Ethan You

One of the great things about being late to the blogging-game is that I have a huge backlog of things I think are cool to write about.

My dad once told me about a reporter who got the plum job of being a columnist. For the first six months he wrote about all the bees in his bonnet. Eventually he ran through all his backlog of ideas, rants, etc. and was coming up empty as he faced his next deadline. The columnist went to his editor and said, "Jeez... I've sorta ran through all my material," to which the editor replied, "Yup, now you begin to work."

Included in my backlog of cool stuff to blog about is Miranda July's promotional website for Noon Ebe Longs Her Emor Ethan You (or perhaps that's supposed to be No One Belongs Here More Than You, not sure) a book that came out last year.

Because my art often involves technology, there is a danger of it devolving into gee-whiz demos. With that concern in mind, I have a real appreciation for Miranda's site... there's something very striking about subverting the web's glossy conventions with a low-tech, DYI development technique.
