Lack of Updates
General Updates
Thursday, 08 January 2009
Sorry for the lack of updates everyone. The site is not dead... my computer is :(
 
I've had a catastrophic motherboard failure. Due to the age of my system (socket 939, agp only etc) it is difficult to replace. Thus, it is easier to build a whole new system from scratch which won't happen for a few weeks yet.
 
Hopefully I will be able to get online this weekend with a proper update. (Thanks to everyone who has sent me links over the last few weeks, I'm only just catching up on email).

Merry Christmas
General Updates
Thursday, 25 December 2008
I hope you are having as good a day that I am, no matter where you are! Beautiful warm day here on the east coast of Australia... beach and a swim tomorrow!
 
On the DFW front, apparently Chaffey Review copies are arriving, so keep an eye on that mailbox.
 
Now for the big news. It looks like "The Planet Trillaphon as It Stands in Relation to the Bad Thing", DFW's earliest published short piece, will appear in the Summer issue of Tin House. This is a wonderful opportunity for readers to experience this great piece without having to travel to Amherst.

Brief Interviews Movie at Sundance
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men Movie News
Thursday, 18 December 2008

It is old news now, but just in case you were not aware, the Brief Interviews movie will debut at Sundance. Underwire, a wired blog, has a little write up that ends with a quote from Krasinski:

"The only thing I'm terrified of now is David Foster Wallace fans," he says. "I hope I do him justice."

Don't worry John, we're all just keen to see the film.

Is anyone heading to Sundance to see it? I'd be happy to go if someone wants to shout me tickets from Australia to the US... :)

Metafilter on Consider the Philosopher
General Updates
Monday, 15 December 2008
It's always interesting when DFW is discussed on metafilter. Not always for reasons you'd expect. The thread begins with reference to Ryerson's NYT article about DFW's philosophy thesis and then quickly spins out of control.

The New York Times Magazine now has placed James Ryerson's piece about DFW's Thesis, Consider the Philosopher online. A good read and overview of the thesis.
