Thanks for the offers!
Even Matthew's parody offer.. 60+ colour pages every month eh! awesome

It's been published here: http://bitcoinmedia.com/the-effs-own-chilling-breeze/

Wha?

I was being serious you know. We are distributing a digital magazine starting this month.

Hmm. That's what comes of coming across as something of a joker/prankster I guess!
Well - I look forward to seeing it.
60+ pages every month does sound ambitious - but I see from the work you put into your bittalk.tv christmas special that you like to bite off more than you can chew and then chew like buggery, so I apologise and withdraw my skepticism

I imagine its going to take some people a while to warm up to the idea of someone like me running a anything serious, but actions speak louder than words so I guess I'll just keep on pushing.

The Christmas Special was a disaster because of a death in the family causing me to come back to Korea just two weeks before Christmas, because the equipment hadn't even been ordered yet, and because I was working with someome not used to improvisational film.

Now that we have done something together, the rest will be a tad easier. As for the magazine, that's 7 people working on it. It'll be way better. It migt be 3 days late though, just like the Christmas special.

Marketing Ploy?

Start a thread stating when the first issue is going to be out and as the time approaches, keep pushing back the date. Even if you have it ready, I suggest you do this. Make us wait for the gold like we did with your ACCS.

This is my reply in the thread there, it does not seem to go past the moderation filter:

Quote from: The Brillant BubbleBoy

The fact that they can outsource the receiving of actual bitcoins and simply get cash has nothing to do with the actual issue.

The actual issue is that if they receive a steady stream of money via bitcoins, and that stream will be impacted as a result of legal actions against bitcoin, then they can’t possibly be neutral and credible in many internet-related issues.

EFF frequently interjects on ongoing legal cases without being explicitly called for by either party (Amicus curiae). If they receive a steady income via bitcoins they would loose any credibility in cases related to internet payments. They might lose credibility in other cases too, for example a rapacious lawyer would reject EFF’s involvement in an internet child porn case by claiming that EFF is funded via bitcoins, a currency designed to hide online mischiefs, thus EFF is nothing but a political arm of the child pornography industry.

If anyone wants to get something published in the future, BitTalk Media is producing a monthly, full color, 60+ page magazine. We are happy to include an article by community members as well (if it's any good!).

Thanks for your comments about the blog Phinnaeus Gage . :-)
Glad you like it.

Your' Welcone, film2240.I see u took my adivise and got rid of the snow on you're blog.That was way to un--professsional for yor blog, don't you say?It's lookin beter, thouhg.

Yeah,got rid of that snow.The snow feature is actually automatic on wordpress when it starts in mid december and switches itself off in early Jan,sometimes you have to disable it yourself which is what I've had to do.I do feel the blog looks nicer without the snow effects.Snow effects tend to cheapen any blog they're put on as I've found out from the ratings on the dashboard (the bit that tells you how many people visit your blog as well as disabling that snow effect as well among many other things).It's so nice to be snow free. :-)

Another suggestion is to not use capitals on your site, like this: http://www.dryadsdancing.com/about.php That way you'll stand out more from the crowd, plus it'll read better.

I did fix that issue with one of the capitals on the posts.Is it like an issue in the posts? Or just the titles of some of the posts?
Improving readability of a blog means that it's better for people to see it.When the OP of this thread somes back,could you let him know that I need his email or wordpress name so that I can send him his invite that'll let him post his article on there thanks.If anyone likes my blog,then could you please spraed the word please,thanks. :-)

Magazines are a great way to reach people as you have a much wider audience than a blog can give (if it's anything like mine,where a small but growing number of readers wish to see it) plus you have more opportunites to add more info than a short post on a blog would.I'd look forward to seeing the article in the magazine when it's done. :-)

Quote from: julz on December 31, 2011, 09:51:33 AM

I have a short article/parody related to EFF and Bitcoin that I'd like to post somewhere.
(roughly the sort of thing the Onion might do - but of course getting them to print an article is unlikely)

I don't currently run a blog etc - so would prefer to throw it up on an existing bitcoin news/blogging type site.
Suggestions?

Yea!Take a look at http://film2240.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/publishonthisblog/ and see if it's worthy for mention in film2240's blog.PM me when it's there.ok?

Quote

Sounds good,what happens next?

Ok,if you’re interested,please send me a tweet @film2240 with the hashtag writer or PM me on the bitcointalk.org forums.You’ll then need to give me your email so I can send the invite to write articles on this blog,then follow instructions in that email and you can write on the blog.

I hope this information has been helpful and have a nice day. Grin
