Jason Pettus | Short-term frustrations and the long-term view. Plus, sex and babies.
http://jasonpettus.com/archives/001613.html
October 11, 2012. Short-term frustrations and the long-term view. Plus, sex and babies. I confess, I've been feeling quite frustrated lately, because of a series of small-term setbacks in my life recently. For example, my arts center. EBay (where I sell rare books. And Second Life (where I sell prefabricated digital homes. And despite a tremendous amount of effort just to get up to speed, I have made barely any money yet from the endeavor, just $18 profit from one single sale. And sure, it's easy to poin...

Jason Pettus | Regarding my freakout at the science-fiction convention.
http://jasonpettus.com/archives/001612.html
September 2, 2012. Regarding my freakout at the science-fiction convention. Although it took just an unbelievable amount of hard work and practice to get there, fueled by horniness and lubricated with alcohol, encouraged by easy 19-year-olds and by learning that I enjoyed being the center of the spotlight. Ostracize us, because we're ostracizing you first. So in other news - I'm out of money! CCLaP's rare book service. Handmade blank journals and notebooks that I sell at Etsy.

Jason Pettus | Regarding the tricky process of artists making good decisions.
http://jasonpettus.com/archives/001607.html
March 20, 2011. Regarding the tricky process of artists making good decisions. My arts center's latest original book finally came out last week, a day-after-tomorrow novella called Life After Sleep. Right now it's hard for me to see it as much more than having just played my latest move in a giant game I've been conducting since 2007, that game being "Let's Convince People To Give A Shit That I've Started An Arts Center," and my opponent being the entire rest of the human fucking race. A lottery, make no...

Jason Pettus | Greetings from Onlinistan.
http://jasonpettus.com/archives/001608.html
May 29, 2011. Uh-oh, it's been happening to me again; that thing I've written about before. The "online world" really is starting to feel more and more like its own unique destination, right, different and in some ways better than any particular geographical point you might pick in the physical universe? Anyway, no big conclusions today; it's just something I've been thinking about a lot again. Sigh - I need to get out more. Sally Weigel's Too Young to Fall Asleep. Ben Tanzer's 99 Problems.

Jason Pettus | The game of arts administration.
http://jasonpettus.com/archives/001611.html
July 19, 2012. The game of arts administration. So, two pretty major milestones to announce today concerning the small arts organization I own, the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography. Last month, for example, when eight of my authors collectively did four shows in four nights in various revered or hipster spots all over Manhattan and Brooklyn; and Katherine Scott Nelson's novella Have You Seen Me. Which I bought at the Strand, and Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad. About all the fascinating ar...

Jason Pettus | Master List by Date
http://www.jasonpettus.com/bydate.html
All Archives by Date. A more fun way to interact with this site's archives will be coming later this year; but for now here is a quick and dirty list of all old entries. Remember, I've actually been generating content for this website since 1996, but the archives from then until 2005 are still largely offline, because of them originally being hosted at Geocities and me still not manually adding them here yet. I'm a coder and I'm looking for a job. I also own a small press. I write a blog just about tech.

Jason Pettus | The Jens Lekman Incident.
http://jasonpettus.com/archives/001609.html
October 9, 2011. The Jens Lekman Incident. So you know that this year, I'm dealing for the first time in my life with owning a credit card, right? And then along those lines, one morning a couple of months ago I was going through my news feeds, and just happened to catch the news right when it was announced that the sugary-great Swedish pop singer Jens Lekman. Would be playing soon at Chicago's Lincoln Hall. Oh yeah, that's right, you can do those kinds of things when you own a credit card! And so the co...
