obook.org and my history with polycarp

how did i stumble upon absurdism? it goes back to garageband.com. that site is and has been (for a long time apparently, according to this exhaustive history) a site where you can post you or your bands music and have it rated by other users.

the cool thing about the site is you earn upload credits by reviewing (though now you can buy credits as well). so i got to listen to alot of good and bad bands. one was mongoloids in crayon suits. they are still up http://www.garageband.com/artist/mcs

i was so intregued by this 'band' and their, well, 'music'. that i started googling the names of the members hoping to find out more about them and find more 'music'. what i did find was www.absurdist.cc. i was pretty confused at first, i didnt understand what the hell the site was. but i figured it out. and you know the rest.

a couple years ago polycarp was working on www.obook.org. obooks were a radical way to compile stories from around the net and have a PDF produce automatically. i helped him beta test the site before it came out.

at any rate, it got abondonded when TNA went down. but i still check TNA once in a while, and about a month ago i got bored and remembered obook.org and checked that. it will redirect you to mcs.obook.org. check it out. apparently polycarp is not dead, and he is lurking somewhere.

glad to see people are still around like heads. i did talk to justynn a few months ago. hope all others are well also.

I didn't know the obook thing was still alive. That is freaky. I will check it out. Thanks for the post, dude. Glad you're still alive...I've had to resort to drinking Milwaukee's Best Ice these days.

What you drinkin'?
