Just for fun, I registered nodemagazine.com and thought I quickly threw together a logo in need of feedback and a tagline.

quote:

Hollis Henry is a journalist, on investigative assignment from a magazine called Node. Node doesn’t exist yet, which is fine, she’s used to that, but it seems to be actively preventing the kind of buzz that magazines normally cultivate before they begin to exist. That would be odd, and even a little scary, if Hollis allowed herself to think about it much, which she can’t afford to do.

I would love to hear thoughts. If you would be interested in writing for this online magazine (that can go in any direction we wish), please let me know.

*tries url* hmm. might be registered but no site appeared.

You need a masthead. Then you can see who you need.

Nodes. I have a thing about that. A few things. One being.. signs, two spaces, the signs and the signed. The signs are made of other signs, intersections, overlaps, of other signs, which themselves are made of other signs. And one space signs another and the two sign spaces (sign and signed) are both signed by signs and the grammar of the signing space can be applied to the signed space also. Like two spacial spaces intersecting to form something. And the signs in the signing space do also sign each other, and that which they sign is subject to that which the signing space is subject to. {Plural helices yadda},, yadda.
You've also got, say, cymatics, as to thoughts as to nodes. And tetrahedral stuff.
edit:
grammar of signed space and grammar of signing space - at least, grammar of signing of the signed space; tho this becomes signs boiling off the wall or something

I'd be honoured to write for node, Patternboy.

A masthead with signs made of other signs sounds cool. Want to take a shot at creating a mockup?

Great! I am thinking of something like a multi-author blog where we post stories in the "Spook Country universe" as those who live there.

More to come soon...

Wait wait wait, which universe are you signifying; that which is signified by Spook Country the reality, Spook Country the Gibsonality, or Spook Country the William Gibson Boardality!? Oh, well, I guess we can play musical semantics, that's fun too.

*sigh* it's so hard to tell if you're taking the piss. If you read the big paragraph (oh look, two readings of this first phrase before these parentheses), you'd notice that a masthead is already this, as is writing and most everything or something.

I was just saying something about signs. A place I could fit something. I try to be more guarded and not post stuff like that.

*waits*

Okay, so what exactly/roughly/vaguely did you have in mind?

...

You /do/ realize that asking for a masthead first is part piss-take (or humor) as well as being not necessarily a bad {first/early} beginning ?

Server still not found. No whois.

A masthead. Pfft. *is off to think*

>>Wait wait wait, which universe are you signifying; that which is signified by Spook Country the reality, Spook Country the Gibsonality, or Spook Country the William Gibson Boardality!? Oh, well, I guess we can play musical semantics, that's fun too.
Me or pb?

Me? There is sign and signified, and they are both sign spaces. Like 3d space[{, say}[?]]. But the signified is subject to the same problems as the sign space. Which sentence is too suffering of particular things I don't like, but it is at least readable easily and writable easily.

why bother asking this, this is obviously the node where all the universes meet.....

I was smoke signa-fying patternboy

"why bother asking this, this is obviously the node where all the universes meet....."

She who nodes does knot "no". She who nodes she does knot no, knows.
