    This came to my inbox from the preeminent art school of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Talk about a mind-f$%k. Can anyone translate?

    January 24: Death of a URL

    I'll tell you what's happeing at Pixelhog on Twitter. Nothing's happening. Not anymore.

    Annoying D-Bag Pixelhog Minnesota Alter-Ego Down for the Count;

    It was getting lonely over there at www.twitter.com/pixelhog. It was clear Pixelhog was meant to fail. I should've known when the German said it, but, hell, you can't ALWAYS do whatever the Germans say.

    But Right There, out in the Cold, totally unclaimed, but beautifully rendered by none other than Flashlight Photorental, is yours truly all Raoul'd Tilt and Shift and Here I am coming now. Coming in from the cold on University Avenue. Trucker hat in tact. I'll all be at

    TWITTER.COM/TOBINRUSSELL
    Twitter.com/tobinrussell will be taking over for Pixelhog, who no one really liked to begin with.



    I feel ' digital stillbirth ' coming on...

    (not be my first, but please lord of higher wisdom make it the beginning of my last):

    • twitter.com/pixelhog...so many good tweets, so many good times...so many other people doing stuff while you were doing that. And forget about that pixelhog twitter feed at TRCOM, not happening anymore.
    • flickr.com/pixelhog....you are so full of SHIT! The only thing you have on there is crappy pictures of ZOMBIES at the best attended street event in Minnesota of 2009. Some kind of licensing pipe dream led you to believe if you saturated the zombie market with 200 (that is the non PRO! account monthly upload limit) zombie photographs from the pre-eminent Zombie Pub Crawl. Fives of thousands of people dressed as puke guts zombies, really into it to, being all like: "Disease is fun!"
      ....that THAT was your ticket to a payday in Minnesota? I have never not understood a place so much.
    • myspace.com/pixelhog....you actually have good music photography and a decent selection of images in a reasonably good presentation. In addition, if any group of people in the whole Untied States would gravitate to something called Pixelhog, there's a 40% chance it might be musicians. So, I gladly neither cut you off, nor let you wither away (much). I will keep my claim to the MySpace Pixelhog troll. Maybe he can collect some Tolls along the way.

    Pixelhog, stillbirth of Minnesota, you did a fine job of driving people away. I am relieving you from duty. Your task is accomplished. You have sealed the deal with digital lips, making the communication path 100 percent one way, you were the finishing touch on a case about non-compatibility I have been considering too long, for quite some time now.

    In the world of creation, there are many deaths. Few of them as ugly as the death of another being. There is no comparison. That is why we are artists. To make things which fail, to say it is not that big a deal, and eventually to connect with an audience who says, "I get it. I like what is happening here. This is working."

    Hello " twitter.com/tobinrussell ", come in from the cold, and warm yourself up. Breathe a little. I think tobinrussell at flickr.com is up for the taking (unless I took it and forgot), I'm not sure I want it, but I am fairly sure you don't want it.

     

    I promise next time, I'll just send a survey to avoid problems / time suck,
