Apr. 19th, 2007 02:44 pmMark your calenders, April 23 is International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day.
On this day, everyone who wants to should give away professional quality work online. It doesn't matter if it's a novel, a story or a poem, it doesn't matter if it's already been published or if it hasn't, the point is it should be disseminated online to celebrate our technopeasanthood.
Whatever you're posting should go on your own site. I'll make a post here on the day and people can post links in comments to whatever they're putting up on. If you are a member of SFWA, or SFWA qualified but not a member (like me) you get extra pixel-spattered points for doing this. If other people want to collect the links too, that would be really cool. Please disseminate this information widely.
Context is over here.
EDIT: Just got this in my email.

To the Campus Community:
We want to inform the campus community about a very recent incident involving a non-student. First and foremost, we want to assure everyone there is no immediate threat to the campus community.
UNC Asheville and Asheville Police Department were made aware of a potential threat against the campus. The individual involved, who is not a student but is a resident of The Grove apartments, is now at Mission Hospitals where he is undergoing a mental health evaluation.
We are working closely with Asheville Police Department and Mission Hospitals to monitor the situation and we will take further steps as necessary.
Again, we wish to assure everyone there is no immediate threat to the campus community.
WTF?
