Newsbits [10 Feb 2004|03:20am] [ music | Salvatore - Get The Kids On The Street It's A Party ] I've set up two new sites for WAP-enabled mobile phones or wireless-enabled PDAs. http://winksite.com/warrenellis/ellis "Warren Ellis Portable" : I've loaded it up with thirteen short stories from here and elsewhere. Unlike the old TagTag site, this is static. It's basically going to be a little shelf of short pieces that I'll add to incrementally. Point your phone at the site and there'll always be at least thirteen things to read. http://winksite.com/warrenellis/dph "Phone Puny Humans": The Winksite system -- about which more another time -- hooks into the RSS feed from a blog and turns it into a WAP site, doing all the work for me. All you do is copy the URL your RSS feed is on, and paste it into the related box on your Winksite control panel. So there it is -- diepunyhumans.com in mobile phone flavour. Because I don't have to do anything to maintain these, these will remain my two basic phone presences. At the very least, it might give those of you with WAP phones something to read on the way to work. * * * * * From VARIETY, Feb 3 2004: "Over at the WB, greenlit dramas include... Mark Burnett's take on the DC Comics title "Global Frequency"... "...which Burnett will exec produce along with John Rogers ("The Core"), who's writing the pilot (Daily Variety, Oct. 21). Actioner revolves around a shadowy figure named Miranda Zero, who starts a top-secret worldwide independent defense intelligence organization. "Warren Ellis created the comic book, which comes from the DC Comics imprint Wildstorm. "Global Frequency" reps the first Wildstorm title to be developed into a feature or TV project since DC acquired the company five years ago..." ###
