Embracing the internet? - Thursday, May 08, 2008
I was surprised to see my name and this website's URL mentioned in a Portland Mercury article about the 10th anniversary of the IPRC. "Zinesters like Jack Saturn have embraced the internet as a way of distributing their work more widely." So much so that I haven't updated this site in two years! Not that I'm going to shun press, but I'm certainly undeserving at the moment. It's like you came over to my house and I didn't even know to clean my room ahead of time!
Seriously, though, I am so proud of the IPRC, where I volunteered for half of its lifespan. Most of the media that has emerged from this imprint was designed there. I have some graphic design work in mind for a couple of current projects and have been mulling over the possibility of renewing my IPRC membership and getting back over to the space more often.
As for this website, the only recent news is that I enabled Google Checkout links on the product pages, so now you can order records and books more easily with a credit card. Next item on the agenda is to figure out how to automate sales of digital downloads—those "MP3" things you kids like.
Other than that, not a lot has been going on over here, what with my focus on The Online Romance, which has evolved from a solo project into a six-piece band over the past two years. We're currently in the process of recording a 12-song LP, to be released on vinyl by Recursive Delete and subsequently, we hope, on CD by a reputable larger indie label. Expect more news on this as the summer progresses.
With my recent sale of the saturn.org domain to a German non-profit—thus your being redirected here if you tried to go there—I no longer have a "personal" web presence, though honestly I wasn't using saturn.org for much of anything in recent times anyway. Though I was an early adopter of weblogs (1999!), I lost interest shortly after the turn of the century. Lately, though, I've been mulling over starting a music blog or a podcast, and if my interest ever reaches a boiling point and I actually get it done, it'll be attached to this here site.
Again, no promises, but maybe it won't be a two-year lapse before this page changes again!

All the junk on this site (graphics, audio, text) is (cc)1999-2013 Recursive Delete. Not because we believe that we invented the wheel and want credit for it, but just because it's not cool to take other people's art and use it for your own without at least asking first.
