12:25 PM BushwickBK.com: column is awesome
12:26 PM will this be the format?
outside, then bushwick?
me: maybe, that's the first format that occurred to me
BushwickBK.com: I like it
me: and I think it will work broadly
might perhaps change it up in the future if I see the need
BushwickBK.com: that's cool
me: but yeah, let's go with that
BushwickBK.com: excellent
12:27 PM so do we name it?
me: is there a particular day you'd want to run it each week?
let me think
BushwickBK.com: any day is fine as long as you can get it to me the day before
as this is about current events it should go up asap so let me know when you can
12:28 PM me: okay, want to have it go up each Monday?
BushwickBK.com: sure
Monday's usually dry anyhow
12:30 PM oh and when you send these can you add as many linksas possible?
for the current event stuff
me: yeah, was going to on this one but forgot
12:31 PM BushwickBK.com: ok cool
me: let me send you another copy in a sec with those links
BushwickBK.com: I aimgine there are some youtubes and kos links that could go in
great
12:56 PM me: for title, perhaps Tales of Presumable Significance
12:57 PM BushwickBK.com: hmm
me: got any ideas?
Freelance Wasteland?
BushwickBK.com: haha
12:58 PM I mean, do these things mean something to you or you just tossing out cool words
me: little from column a...
BushwickBK.com: but yes that second one is cool
me: okay, let's go with that
BushwickBK.com: great
12:59 PM and then each column should have a headline
very short
me: okay
lemme think
Perils of Crack and Grammar
BushwickBK.com: great
1:02 PM me: how's the site going in general?
same number of hits as usual?
BushwickBK.com: well we had a big slump when both me and Diego went on vacation
but we're back to normal
1:03 PM gonna redesign soon
so it's more like a magazine
I hate this stupid blog format
durrr, up-down, new-old
scrolling down forever into eternity
me: I'll see what I can do about linking to it from my bylines in some other pubs I write for, maybe my next online Vanity Fair piece
BushwickBK.com: regardless of importance or subject
me: yeah, I know
BushwickBK.com: that's cool, I do like that most of our numbers are from the hood
1:04 PM me: right
BushwickBK.com: but yeah, working on the design now, it's hard
to decide how to present content
poaching ideas from all these sites, but they all have something dsifferent
me: should be plenty of good design people available these days
1:05 PM buyer's market
BushwickBK.com: yeah I have my web guy
but I do need to find a designer
I can do mock-ups
but I need a pro to make it right
me: you should come by and hang out at my place this week over on Park if you have time
BushwickBK.com: hey I'd love to
1:06 PM when you around
me: I'm always around
BushwickBK.com: my sched is tight but -- cool
me: just give me a shout whenever
BushwickBK.com: we could grab coffee at that new place on bway
still haven't been
me: which place?
BushwickBK.com: athom
me: oh, the French one?
1:07 PM BushwickBK.com: yah
me: yeah, that's pretty exciting, haven't been yet
1:11 PM also, could you put my e-mail address at the end of the column?
BushwickBK.com: sure
1:12 PM me: an editor at the Onion saw my other pieces for you and they sent me a message via linked in to see if I'd do features for them, so want to make myself accessible
BushwickBK.com: wow!
1:13 PM I fucking love the onion
their videos are amazing
1:14 PM me: yeah, they've done a good job with those I've noticed. I'm just doing their back-of-the-book stuff for print version and decider, though, did something similar for their Austin version before I moved here
at any rate, apparently bk gets read by a lot of editors
1:15 PM BushwickBK.com: interesting
who else
me: well, I'm extrapolating from them
Paul Caine at least
BushwickBK.com: ah
well there was that one guy, shit
writes about israel a lot
1:16 PM several people sent it to me
hold on
ugh boss is making me work, brb
