I wrote about my old company Batter Blaster and how we went up against Con Agra and the other massive CPG conglomerates in 2012 and still won the (prestigious?) GMA Award for Innovation and Creativity. open.substack.com/pub/areyouex...

There is a special place in hell for people who want to return things on eBay that they clearly have destroyed/“lost”/damaged themselves. Especially ones who say “oh I know it’s always someone else’s fault.” They belong with despots, warlocks and egotistical swim instructors

I've been busy over at areyouexperienced.substack.com writing about things that appeal to me, or bother me, depending on the week and my general temperament. Lately it's been generative AI, the Quatermass series, self-publishing, ghosts, magick and horror movies.

You probably need to read this uncharacteristically light Substack from the king of mid tempo ballads and mildly disturbing transparency

I wrote a piece about horror movies and job hunting. I don't know if there is a horror movie about job hunting but I don't think I'd want to watch it right now. Unless there's a good one! open.substack.com/pub/areyouex...

I have written over 40,000 words since I started this, which is a pretty big number. For me, at least. This past week I wrote about redefining my relationship with alcohol. In past weeks I've dug into all sorts of digital stuff via the lens of this jaded Gen Xer. open.substack.com/pub/areyouex...

I wrote this week about my great, late friend Matt Harris, bass player for the Posies, Oranger, Ian Moore, Spiral Stairs, Roky Erikson and many others, and where addiction and aging meet.

I like talking about horror movies, comic books, music and other pop culture that is good, not the crap kind. So hi everyone who is just now joining. This is my personal site and yes I was COO at Batter Blaster, the lamented aerosol pancake batter in a can. nicktangborn.com

Bluesky seems to be waking up again as the Meta fact-checking terrifies everyone. I write a 1500 words every week about culture, media and writing after 50. It's called Are You Experienced and is over on Substack. I recently started a vintage comics and ephemera store at www.ebay.com/str/quaterma...
