Sometimes I Write Poetry…

http://social-creature.com/disappear--here.png

As some of you may know, I’ve got an open relationship with this sort of pop-sociology / marketing-strategy genre I have been cultivating here, at Social-Creature. I also have a tendency to get into long-term situations with fiction (more on that soon!), and every so often ring up poetry for a late-night booty call.

Every so often, it turns out, is much more often than I’d suspected. A few weeks ago I got the idea to collect all the random bits of verse that I’d clickity-clacked over the past few years and create a strictly poetry blog. (Plus, it was a good reason to try out Tumblr.)

So without further ado, I will present my poetry tumblelog in just a moment, but first —

Please note: while I exercise a deliberately informal tone on this site, it is nevertheless always delivered within a professional and analytical context. By clicking over to peep some poems you are confirming that you understand the content you are about to consume is a strictly artistic expression and is to be treated as such. If you don’t understand the difference, aren’t sure you can handle it, or simply aren’t a fan of art in general, you’re already reading the wrong blog, and shouldn’t even venture any further. As for the rest…>> disappear — here.

the evolution of the LIB music player

LIB06:

an immobile little flash dookiy embedded in the site:

http://social-creature.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/lib06.jpg

up close it looked like this:

http://social-creature.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/lib061.jpg

at the time we thought it was quite the snazz.

LIB07:

we figured this kind of media thingie shouldn’t be trapped on our site, so we created a “portable” popup player that you could launch on our site, and then take along with you on your web travels:

http://social-creature.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/lib071.jpg

the other cool thing about this portable online player is that it linked back to the LIB site, allowing peolpe to return with one click at any time.

and that was fine and dandy until…

LIB08:

we made the music player embeddable! now not only does it move (it still comes in popup form, that you can grab on the site), but it also rolls over, fetches, and sits wherever you tell it to:

Buy Tickets Line Up Workshops Art Forum

oh yeah, and it also let’s people passs it on too :). (tho if you happen to be seeing this in a feedreader, you prolly won’t see it. to see–or rather, hear what i’m talking about click HERE.)

(thanks to brian shaw and y2 for making this fancy thing happen! our widget don’t mess!)
