New vlog, guys! I hope you enjoy my reenactment of what happened when Wil Wheaton tweeted me, and how I recovered!
It’s embarrassing, but hey, what would happen if someone you looked up to acknowledged your existence?
As an artist and creator, I spend more time than I should wondering if my work actually means anything to anyone. I mean, when I write a story or make a Thing, I satisfy this weird creative urge that all artists have (it’s a thing that’s broken in our brains), and that’s awesome… but I’d be lying if I said making it was enough. The truth is, creators and performers need an audience to create and perform for, which brings me back to spending too much time wondering (read: obsessively worrying) if anyone gives a shit.
But in my life, there’s this other thing, too, where I have an opportunity to somehow touch a life (that I’d never touch otherwise) because of the things I create. When I saw this video, I was embarrassed that a thing I did mattered to Victoria enough for her to make a vlog about it… but then I was all, “This is awesome, and look how happy she is, and how funny, and when our lives intersected for a grand total of about 25 seconds over Twitter, this was the result for her.”
I’m incredibly grateful that I get to do more with my work than just make things, and when she meets a real celebrity, instead of someone who’s just Internet Famous like I am, I hope they’re awesome to her.
You’re a good egg, Wil Wheaton.

Seriously, You Have to Watch ‘Ruin’
When I first watched this post-apocalyptic animated short by Oddball Animation, I felt like Star Wars and Indiana Jones had a video game baby. I just couldn’t look away. Visually, it’s absolutely stunning. And it features bad ass motocycle maneuvers and cleverly executed explosions. Umm…awesome!
Goddamn that was awesome.

Guardian open journalism: Three Little Pigs advert - video
Brilliant video from the Guardian around open journalism. Really worth a look:
“This advert for the Guardian’s open journalism, screened for the first time on 29 February 2012, imagines how we might cover the story of the Three Little Pigs in print and online. Follow the story from the paper’s front page headline, through a social media discussion and finally to an unexpected conclusion”
The internet’s not broken.
So then why are there so many attempts to regulate it? Under the guises of piracy, privacy, pornography, predators, indecency, and security, not to mention censorship, tyranny, and civilization, governments from the U.S. to France to Germany to China to Iran to Canada — as well as the European Union and the United Nations — are trying to exert control over the internet.
Why? Is it not working? Is it presenting some new danger to society? Is it fundamentally operating any differently today than it was five or ten years ago? No, no, and no.
So why are governments so eager to claim authority over it? Why would legacy corporations, industries, and institutions egg them on? Because the net is working better than ever. Because they finally recognize how powerful it is and how disruptive it is to their power.
