Opinions Abound

I was recently interviewed (via email) by Jeff Yang for the San Francisco Chronicle. He was writing an article on the recent launch of Virgin Comics and examining rise of Asian comic book culture. I guess he found my reference from an earlier post I had written reviewing the pre-release copy of the first edition of Virgin Comics. Although I rambled on quite a bit and have been cited in just one paragraph, it still works for me. The other blogger interviewed was Abhi from Sepia Mutiny.

On other fronts, I sent off an ranting email to Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing when Indian Express analysed the list of banned blogs. I guess she must have found it useful in updating her post on the blog ban in India because I got my first mention at Boing Boing. The previous time I was cited there was a hat-tip and I don’t think that counts. Nope, the hits aren’t rolling in.

    Do commenters on celebrity blogs become celebrities too – or are they called blog-groupies ?

    Bongo, alas! celebrity blogs don’t have comments enabled…its only minnion blogs like this that let you guys run amok.

    Pat: Come’on – don’t be so modest :-)
    Ok – a semi-celebrity ?

    Slightly OT, but reminds me of the Seinfeld episode The Muffin Tops.

    Kramer: Jerry you’re a minor celebrity. If you go on this thing, it could create a minor stir.
