Is it me, or is everything just a little bit fucked up at the moment? George Dubya is worrying everyone in the Western world by sabre-rattling at the Chinese, the Middle East is set to become a battlefield any time, the money markets continue to rapidly devalue amidst profits warnings and talk of job losses as the economy downturns, and I still haven't had my main computer back from the menders, which means all the weird and wonderful links that everyone has sent me over the past few months will have to stay unshared.
Meanwhile, I suppose I should sort out exactly what I'm going to do with this site. I currently like the idea of producing magazine style issues, perhaps monthly if time allows, along with gradually developing an archive of back issues and perhaps a directory featuring just the links categorised as sad, bad, mad and actually quite good. I think a mailing list is in order so that all you dedicated sad fans can get each new issue delivered to your desktop. Having a database of registered users may even give the site a commercial value, which might be interesting. I quite fancy the idea of being a dot-com millionaire, (or dot-co-dot-uk managed-to-cover-my-hosting-costs-aire more likely). So buy IAMSAD merchandise, and click though to Amazon from this site if you want books or videos or that kind of thing. Hey, if I do make any money I'll spend on throwing a big party for you and everyone else on the mailing list.
And here's my inspiration, 'The Spark'. They've got merchandise and a mailing list of 4.5 million registered users, not to mention a theme tune, strange scientific experiments and the highly entertaining 'BurnMaker' which turns pages like the one you're reading into this
Maybe that's what I meant to say all along - spooky!
