I chose option one, even though it's a little more complicated than that. I found it from a link posted on another message board whose main topic is the Subaru Impreza. Part push, part pull.

I have scoured the web for a current "official" Gibson site for years. I even thought of taking up the cause myself. Who ever is in charge, it is much appreciated!! Keep up the good work.

I read the review of "Pattern Recognition" in the newest edition of WIRED Magazine. Didn't even know he had one coming out so I went to the william gibson aleph webpage and saw the link to his Blog.
If your not outraged, you're not paying attention!

I was looking around my usual Sci Fi sites and in a post about WG the site was mentioned... and of course it was a matter of seconds to come... then I read allo the blogs, check the other pages and settle here...in my, I hope, new home !!!!
But it was very fortuituous - I was helping a friend clean out a house, a lot of newspaper was stacked to help with the packing. I grabbed an entertainment section because of a big cover article on Terry Gilliam's attempt to make Don Quixote and when I got it home, I saw the article on WG's blog. Which lead to this d-board and my rushing out to buy PR.
Martin, you'll have to excuse me, but your original topic is six pages long, so I'll stick with this new one. But it's good of you to post the link, so I can check out everybody else's story.
The only worry I have about Gibson's Weblog is that it may use up so much of his time that the interval to the next book is even longer than the last. However, it is SUCH a relief to know that I can get a fix of William Gibson pretty well daily.

After I read page three of Pattern Recognition I knew I would have to google Fetish:Footage:Forum, I was hoping someone would have posted some footage.
Way back in the 70's when cable tv was in it's toodlerhood I was living in El Paso TX. The cable station did not have 24 hour programing and ran films only several times a day. There was filler that ran before and after the films, what I remember was slow tracking shots of empty urban malls/parks The camera moving up stairs and slowly sweeping over sun-lit white concrete. That is what I imagined the Footage was like in the novel.
I was told about this site by a girl that I spent a night raving about William Gibson with in a pub. Its funny to me that liking William Gibson's writing is some kind of friendship qualifier to me in a way that liking the same kind of music never could be.

I've always loved gibson, I own a copy of every novel, A was talking to my roomate about the board in Pattern Recognition and I said how it would be cool if gibson had a board because it would probably grow a community like the own in the novel. So he googled it and told me about it. And here it is.
Are you hitting on me?
