Don't get left behind! Everyone needs a non-functional decorative pillow with
a picture of a yard gnome on it, don't they? Okay, but everybody likes yard
gnomes. And for those of you who have been thinking, "I like my couch,
but you know, it could really use something. A splash of pop culture color",
then this is the item for you! Jump on the bus and grab one of these babies
while you still can! And if you order in the next five minutes, then you will
have spent the money all the faster! And we at the Dark Crazy support that!

Lots of changes coming. The Editorial Page is up to date, and you can expect it to update on a weekly basis from now on.
Whisper World is also getting a makeover, so you can expect to see some new content with mind-blowing features and graphics very soon. Seriously, you’ll pop right out of your chair. People will be running naked in the street screaming “everything I know is a lie!” It will change the way the world sees itself forever.
New episodes of our podcast programs are on the way, too. The Dark Crazy show is scaling down to a more downloadable half-hour format, and that should be ready in the next week or so. New “Cooler Than You” and “A Kindness of Strangers” episodes are also in the works. Watch out for our 1940’s-style serial, “The Adventures of the Patriotic Paragon, America’s Most Concerned Citizen!”, set to begin this weekend. I'm also doing a new segment called "This week in Angst", which pretty much just bags on the teeny-bopper melodrama shows I watch on the WB. That should run in ten minute episodes, I think, and will be available on www.darkcrazy.libsyn.com very soon.
Special thanks to the folks at the Dreaming Methods site, too, for our first official reciprocal link.
Remember if you have any comments you’d like to see on our Feedback forum, send them in. If you have any work you’d like to put up, we’ll be happy to take consider your submissions. Or if you want to e-mail me directly, that’s cool, too.
Thanks for stopping by!

Mile Zero Films,
a new enterprise founded by Sean Gilbert, Jason Wilson and
Tommy Butler is nearing completion on its first digital short, The Baldwin Effect. Shot in Carrollton, Georgia with Gilbert and Butler in front of the cameras, Wilson directing and Atlanta actress Nuri Adams working in front of and behind the cameras, the short is a comedy about people adapting to the monotony of life in a small town.
Gilbert wrote the script and serves as producer, as well. It has been shot primarily at the Mellow Mushroom in Carrollton.
