At last...the MDC!

Apologies to everybody who has been checking in on this site (in particular Mr Skinner!) for the delay in finally getting this blog up and running. As I will probably have as my epitaph - I've been rather busy! I took my previous "Lives and Times of Jerry Cornelius" blog down as it was - how should I put it - potentially copyright infringing. Though I have very little respect for the legalities of copyright (wanna buy an unofficial I Love allofmp3.com T-shirt?!) I do have too much respect for Michael Moorcock - creator of Jerry Cornelius, but also Elric, Hawkmoon, Corum and the many heroes of the Eternal Champion series.

Equally I didn't want people thinking that I thought I was some kind of deluded, needle-gun toting, bisexual, nomad of the time-streams!

Which indirectly leads to what this blog and sister web-site www.multideathcorporation.com will be about. Primarily my two great loves in life - Geeking with technology in an unashamedly pointy-headed and beany-wearing kind of way and Science Fiction in all its noble and amateurishly debased forms.

Apologies if this isn't a gritty, rapid response to crucial issues, laced with scathing satire and incisive analysis of the things-that-really-matter. I leave that to those that do it well, e.g. Skin Flicks and to the Hax (MDC code for lazy cyber-journalists who'd rather regurgitate global, celebrity drivel, than file 50 words of real copy on the injustice outside their door) that don't.

But the twin topics of Technophilia and Sci-Fi affords plenty of scope for sedition . On a planet bulging with e-tards struggling with their portable stereos and reading Angel novelisations, where the deluded think they can complete a tax return or self-diagnose an illness, using a horrendously expensive and broken government site - could it be otherwise?

Expect bad speeling, inane technoprattle, gushing praise for bad Cy-Fi and humiliating demonstrations of my total inability to play computer games.

I hope you enjoy!
