Bloggity Blog Blog

As usual, I have been neglecting my blog since I seem to have been busy lately....doing what? I'm not sure. Anyways, here are some links to some interesting things I have found on the web lately:

I have recently finished a couple of Canadian author William Gibson's books: Pattern Recognition and Spook Country, and I have really, really liked them. I never thought that I would get into Gibson since I classified him as science fiction and therefore unreadable. This morning I went to the William Gibson official site where he has a blog and an active forum. One of his blog entries recommends the new Cory Doctorow book (for young adults) called Little Brother. Doctorow himself has a cool site: craphound.com as well as being responsible for the blog Boing Boing

Confessions from the Velvet Ropes - this is a fun one, a New York City gossip/celebrity/lifestyle blog written by Glenn Belverio. In his most recent entry Belverio links to a Camille Paglia recommended article by Robert Keser entitled "Inside the Hollywood Dreamboat Factory - The Fairy Godfather of Hollywood" about legendary Hollywood agent Henry Wilson who discovered and manufactured the images, careers, and iconic names of many of the gay and bisexual actors of the 1950s including Rock Hudson, Guy Madison, Rory Calhoun, Tab Hunter, and Troy Donahue. This is a fun read, reminding us of the interesting subcultures that make Hollywood so interesting.

Enjoy!
