Some new stuff coming up

I spoke with one of my favorite professional bloggers, Mike CJ of Mike’s Life. I had a few questions, mostly concerning advice about my current project, that he was very kind enough to answer. With that has come the inspiration for a few of the posts I will be doing this week, including a blog about the 8137 moniker and what inspired it. I also aim to post some more specifics about the projects I am undertaking, particularly what I will be doing here on Alpha as well as the political/philosophy blog-forum I will be creating in the coming months (as soon as I have money for hosting.)

As always, I am searching for writers; I’m willing to work out whatever trade-offs would satisfy you to write with me. Here’s a list of some of the subjects I’m going to write about and want others to write about on my blogsites:

Politics– socialist, progressive, anarchist and otherwise non-conservative politics aimed at a pragmatic, non-fundamentalist philosophy (harm reduction). Or, if you have some conservative viewpoints that don’t infer, incur, boil down to or otherwise propagate hate or phobias, be my guest. Any views that aren’t based on hate and negativity towards immutable characteristics or personal choices of orientation are great for the blog.

Harm reduction- how do you use the philosophy of harm reduction in your life? Can you think of ways that it would benefit society?

Atheism– rational approach to reality and the universe, society, politics and policy. See Friendly Athiest for a good blogroll.

Freeware– also open source, shared software, useful solutions, tweaks and hacks; in the spirit of open-source and ‘free as in freedom.’ See Fileguru for some good freeware.

Music and art– everything from hip-hop to metal, punk to indie and everything in-between and outside. Reviews, ideas, recommendations, and whatever else you love to write about

I would love to have posted that as a list; unfortunately, it’s coming out real funky here on WordPress. Not that it’s a bad service, but I am looking forward to getting the paid service on BlueHost I’ve been saving for,  as it has lots of goodies and I’ve heard great things. Anything that improves the quality of experience for my readers is a priority.

So if you would like to collaborate, let’s work something out! Contact me at 8137productions@gmail.com and we’ll get something rolling. Otherwise, stay posted, subscribe to the blog feed in the column to the right, or find me on Facebook at  http://companies.to/8137productions.
