The 2nd Rule

I've just become (guest) editor of The 2nd Rule, the 5-year-old e-mail-based "urban creative guerrilla magazine". (I admit to not being a Fight Club fan, despite the magazine's name...)

We're about to crank out the Jan/Feb issue, so I'm now looking for submissions of prose, poetry, and also music, art, photography, or any sort of digital media. So if you have something you want to say or show, and want it to reach about 6000-7000 readers/viewers, e-mail it to me at daryl [at] dsng [dot] net or editor [at] the2ndrule [dot] com, preferably by the end of January 2006. We can't pay, but you'll get credit, plus a link to your website if you have one.

As for what I'm looking for - there isn't a thematic structure to this particular ish yet, I'm thinking I'll let it emerge from the submissions. So I'll just go with whatever catches my fancy. You can look through the past issues to see what's been published before, but - since I'm a new ed - I also get to impose my taste. Yeah, I'll enjoy my czar status while it lasts.

I'm such a geek. I saw your title and thought, "A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law."

But of course, that's actually the 2nd LAW, not 2nd RULE.

Verbal agreement

From a Grauniad Guardian article on James Dyson , inventor of the dual-cyclone vacuum cleaner: He still has one major ambition. To become a verb, in the same way that Hoover - or, as he puts it, "the alternative" - has done. I suggest to him that people are already using his product but still saying they are "hoovering". He smiles. "I don't think they'll be doing that for long," he says. That struck me as unusual - it's very rare for a firm's leader to say that he wants his product to become a verb. Lots of other companies like TiVo and Google have tried desperately to avoid their name becoming a verb, for fear of the name becoming so generic that the trademark gets diluted. But then, the Languagehat archives seem to show (see comment near the bottom) that Dyson's big on turning his name into a verb. *** Sadly, due to its distinct lack of vowels, the chances of "sng" becoming a verb seem close to zero, regardless of whate...

50 Cent's crib

This New York Times article on 50 Cent's life in the sleepy suburb of Farmington, Conn. , is quite wry - But a cook at China Palace said Mr. Jackson could save 10 percent on any order over $30... Ah, the privileges of fame... 10% off Chinese takeout! For the party, Mr. Jackson ordered more than $5,000 worth of liquor, including "a lot of Baccardi," according to the owner of a Farmington liquor store who spoke on the condition of anonymity "to protect his privacy." Sipping Bacardi (ooh, caught a Times misspelling) like it's his birthday. How anonymous could a liquor store owner in a suburban town be? It's not like there're hundreds of liquor stores in the town, I'm guessing. I like how they keep referring to him as Mr. Jackson...
