Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."). --HP Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

The stars hath turned in the heavens once more: Mighty Cthulhu stirs. His dreams reacheth forth, communing with those with ears to hear. Iä! Shub-Niggurath! His thoughts trample down along the pathways of thy mind; thou knowest His footprints, each of which is a wound...

Guerrilla Media

The Freeway Blogger has been around for a while, but I thought I'd put the word out for those who haven't heard of him yet. Operating on the premise that he can reach more people for longer and for less money, he's taken to putting up signs all over LA's busy highways:



When you put a sign on the freeway people will read it until someone takes it down. Depending on its size, content and placement it can be seen by hundreds of thousands of people.


I think he's on to something.

Here at Freewayblogger we feel that free speech is meaningless unless it extends to everybody: not just to those who can afford it. When the founders of this nation said that everyone was entitled to freely express their political opinions, they didn't mean we could hammer up a sign out in the woods somewhere, they meant we could hammer it up right in the middle of the town square. Why? Because that's where all the people were.


Amen, brother.

One Good Move, I also wanted to share THIS. I don't know who did the music or the animation, but it's well done and loads quickly (even dial-up users can enjoy this one). Kudos to whoever did this great work.

Flash animation is tedious work for the likes of me, but my roommate and many others find it rather fun to do on their home computers. This is media that anyone can use. Blogging isn't the only inexpensive form of political activism after all.
