Candleblog

You know that Candleblog reader collage I do every year? I got the idea from Warren Ellis, who is presently in the midst of his own annual “world wide week.” He writes…

Someone asked me yesterday, “why do you do the thing with the self portraits?” And it’s like this: because people forget that there are other people on the other end of the internet. People forget that they’re side by side with other people every time they visit a website, that they’re talking with real people every time they post a comment. It’s too easy for people to let everyone become anonymous on the net. I don’t like that. This whole thing is made out of people. Once a year, I like to remind you.

Go look at some of Ellis’ very interesting-looking readers.
