Hi There.

I’m Joe The Peacock, or as my friends call me, Joe Peacock. I’m a writer guy, but I also do web-based software stuff, design crap, information architecture junk, and other things with no clear category. I don't have a resume, so you'll just have to believe me (or look at the "Doing This" and "Done That" sections).

Journal (go there now)

I write in my journal every single day, and sometimes people pay attention to the crap I put in there.

Sometimes, someone links someone else to one of the things I write. And that someone links someone else, and they link someone else, and so on until the first guy gets linked to it and says "OMG THAT'S OLD." Here's some things that has happened with.

Featured

Sometimes, some crazy person decides they want to feature me for some reason. I think it’s because they’re short on content for something or another, but at least they buy me lunch if I go visit them.

This Is What I'm Doing

I like to stay busy. If I'm not busy writing code or books or drawing pretty pictures or making wireframes, I'm out getting into enough trouble to be able to write more books. Here's what's going on right now:

Books

Still Mentally Incontinent is my 2nd book, and as far as I know, the 2nd ever reader-edited book. It’s being published by Penguin Books / Gotham Books. They like me. They really like me.

---

Mentally Incontinent is my 1st book, and the 1st ever reader-edited book. It’s really special and orange and you can read it for free here, and once you’re done, you can buy it. Yay you.

This book even earned the distinction of being course material for the Digital Literature course at the University of Tennessee! How about that - I'm 21st century literature...That's not saying much for the 21st century, is it...?

---

Kunoichi is a novel I’m not going to tell you about, because I want it to be a surprise.

---

Best of the Worst is a free e-book you get when you join the Still Mentally Incontinent project and help me edit that book. If you like free things, this is a way to get one. Coming Soon

Fun Webby Crap

Automotivetry is the most clever use of $45.71 I’ve ever found. I put magnetic poetry on the back of my truck and let people write things with it. Then I take pictures and upload them to make you smile.

---

I want these shoes is my attempt to place a bounty on a “retro” pair of shoes I once loved and no longer own. Find me a pair and I will pay you in modern currency.

---

Joe vs Jeremy is a health and exercise challenge I am participating in vs. my friend Jeremy Halvorsen.

---

OpenComic is going to blow your mind when it starts. But only when it starts, not until then.

---

Could I Have Made It was an experiment in 2007 to see if I actualy stood a chance making it to a professional football team. I’m doing it again in 2008. We’ll see how far I get this time.

My Company

This Is Not Art is the company that published my first book and the place that people write checks to when I consult with them on design, copywriting and architecture projects.
