In a classic temporal reversal, this advanced self-publishing machine (ie, the "web-log") has been converted into a bi-monthly print column in the LA Alternative, a Los Angeles-area lifestyle newspaper, now the only alternative weekly in the city since the LA Weekly's deep sell out. Logistically, the switchover means this: I will be writing a new "Universe" every other week which will appear first in the LA Alternative, then, a few days later, on this blog. This blog itself will remain an exclusive source of "Recent Mountain" links, web-only entries, and discussion. I will also get paid.
This development has only increased my befuddlement regarding the sudden legitimacy of the "blog" as a format, but I am running with it. Homies, I am excited for a new inter-media, inter-textual, scientific discourse. Readers of the paper column will be (and are) prompted to continue the discourse on the more communal, more expanded internet format. If you will, the column is a hyperlink to a larger conversation.

DANG. hey that's rad, I want something like that for my photos now.

CONGRATULATIONS! This is very rad.
Whoa!?!?! That's totally awesome. Good for you!
so totally cool, The Homie Claire.
still need our EXCLUSIVE (echo echo echo) web content.
Don't forget CityBeat/ValleyBeat...the only newspaper which features old hippy Mick Farren continuously writing about how much better they are than the LA Weekly because they didn't sell out.
congratulations, lady. this is so awes.
This makes me so incredibly happy! You deserve it so deeply. Man, URHO needs to just take over all medias, analog and digital. Television is next, dudes!
