Guess who watched Gladiator tonight? Not me, actually (it was last night), but in the end it doesn’t matter anyway, because the title of this post is only half-accurate. While there are updates on the way – the first shall hopefully be tomorrow – another update has already happened. A brand new poem – a haiku, to be precise – by guest author Anna Egan: “Ode to Spam“http://alternative-internet.com/poetry/86/ode-to-spam – be sure to check it out.
Now, as for the upcoming updates…
Patrick J. B. Simmons | Sep 06, 08 | Comments | Read Full ArticleToday is August 15th, 2008. I’m sure a lot of really interesting famous things happened today in history, but, to be honest, I don’t particularity care about them: it’s Grant’s birthday!
So please be sure to drop by the forums, or use the comments on this post, or get in touch with Grant in person (if you are lucky enough to know him and be near him) and wish him a Happy Birthday…
Patrick J. B. Simmons | Aug 15, 08 | Comments | Read Full ArticleDirect your attention to the Alternative-Internet.com navigation bar, if you please, and make note of the link to our newest section: Poetry & Songs
Over the past few weeks, Mike has been writing a good deal of poetry, and, in honour of this, the decision was made to give Poems & Songs their own section, separate from the general stories section.
Patrick J. B. Simmons | Jul 27, 08 | Comments | Read Full ArticleWell, the stories section is back online (with the exception of the full Barg series), so you can go read all of the old content that, if you’re a long time Alternative-Internet.com visitor, you’ve already read, or, if you’re new to the site, you don’t want to read (be sure to check the note about the dates if you’re confused). Party, party, party.
Patrick J. B. Simmons | Jun 12, 08 | Comments | Read Full ArticleAs the re-building on Alternative-Internet.com continues, we’ve reached another new landmark with the return of out Music Reviews section – yay! Be sure to check out Michael Little’s review of Sawdust – the latest album by The Killers.
Patrick J. B. Simmons | Jun 09, 08 | Comments | Read Full ArticleFor the past few days weeks months, Alternative-Internet.com has been in a state that can only be described as “Out to Lunch.” The main page consisted of a single image explaining that while the main site was down, the forums were not, and, while they forums were online, they were somewhat quiet, and without their usual visual style (actually, they’re still without that – I’m getting to it, though). As for the rest of the site, all of the stories, articles, poems, and art galleries – all were missing, or at least, out of easy reach.
However, those dark days are over, and we’re back! Sure, we’re not completely back yet – the stories and galleries are still in-transit – but we’re on the brink! The main page is here, and the other pages and sections will follow shortly. Plus, there is already a nice little bundle of brand new content waiting to go online both in tandem with the sections returning and shortly after they are all up. Yay!
