What is this place?

a warm gun is the personal web site of multimedia artist and resident geek Ian Adams, based out of Seattle, WA. The page you’re seeing shows all posts in the “Web” category.

Where is everything?

The most recently posted stuff can be found on the front page. Older posts and articles are listed, by category and date, in the archives. There is also the Link Blog, which is my (almost) daily list of interesting links and brief commentary on AWG-related topics.

Additional areas on this site can be accessed by using the navigation links on the far left. (Or far bottom if you’re visiting this site using an alternative browser like Opera Mini.)

UNEASYsilence giving away a Wii

It looks as though UNEASYsilence is having a contest! They’re giving away a Wii to anyone who mentions the contest on another website and then leaves a comment at their web site.

It’s so easy, it’s UNEASY.

There’s been a new craze sweeping the Internet in the “Web 2.0” era. Well, maybe not so new, because there were some aborted attempts back in the pre-dot-com bubble era. But it’s been growing over the past couple of years, and for the life of me, I can’t understand why.

The craze is social bookmarking sites like Ma.gnolia and del.icio.us. I don’t use them, nor do I see any compelling reason to start using them.

Changes

a warm gun: Where the fun never stops!

So there’s a lot of things that are going on around here. First on the list is to actually implement the commenting system, which is about 90% finished. Some things to include will be the Turing test and to be able to keep the URLs nice and simple, as they already are. Also, I want to integrate Textile into it, so that the comments are typographically correct. (Now if only I could make it fix people’s grammar and spelling…)

Dorsia

Okay, so I’ve been moving (and before that trying to find a place to live), so it took me quite a while to get around to this. But, Travis Vocino has put together a media company called Dorsia. I’m really interested to see what they start putting out, but in the meantime the company, like the site, looks like it’s just getting started.

Still, it’s definitely worth a look. And I really like the site design. Two thumbs up to the site design. I also dug Travis’ post about reality TV, which is something I’ve always rather hated, as well as feared that it’ll eventually allow programmes like Battle Royale.

Anyway, check out the site, and keep an eye on them, because I don’t doubt that some cool stuff will be coming out.

On the matter of an iTunes Music Store video service

I told you so.

Now, we just need to see Front Row on the Mac Mini. And, of course, we still need to see actual feature movies available on the iTunes Music Store. But hey, we’re getting there.
