Douglas has raised four kids while being one of the great pioneers of democratic media. One of the early writers about the internet, Mr. Mcdaniel has also served as editor and cheif of Diamond Magazine, Major League Baseballs publication of record, and has created an independent media franchise as William Blake in Cyberspace…and the book of that name is the flagship publication of that franchise. He is publishing the “American Mythville” Literary Review (Vol 3 was just released)….and has somewhat heroically promoted the work of many other authors. Glamwire fondly remembers meeting Mr, McDaniel in Downtown Telluride…just days before we were collectively arrested for hot wiring an arrangement that had NASA electronically paying the phone bill of what quickly became our shared office. This is what it was like to be an electronic pioneer in the Wild West at the very turn of the century. Nicola Tesla literaly charged our batteries back then. In Telluride they used to say: “We’re gonna arrest ya…but first we’d like to perform a little banjo number…. D’ya mind?” To renegade electronic poet fathers everywhere….this father’s day article is for you.

Wheres Rico Indeed
Hey, whoa, stop that titanic thought right there.
Rico was stupendous on the improv, han danley quite sauturnine wiv’
the radio free satire fine ‘n fair.
I’m a word guy. I couldn’t hotwire a toaster, so please don’t tell the NSA…
despite the tech fest contacts,
and pre-facey spacey post-toasties. Such as Mr. Scott Brown, most certainly an angel thrown down to hell, landing square and bright!

As far I am concerned, sir, you me, and the United Space Program, $300, 000. One of my cute daughters will be giving you a call.
’tis hopetist greatest best
she be the elder of the blood
and that elder bill as well
be in U.S. dollars circa 1790,
since words now, still cheap,
can allow for micropayments,
which is today’s writer plight
and quite all too common
of a weep!
None other debt could be
more finely paid, since that line
was first to send Willy B.,
sincere here, to be first among
many to be literally e-mailed
from my century,
to your own
via cyberspace
None others than me best girls
now know the parts I lost
in the digital transfer … sir(s)
~ William Blake in Cyberspace
P.S. (Priory Sion)
Ye United Space Program
be most certainly worthy
of co-promotion in me eyes,
since nowadaze that anything
that hasn’t happened
will now happen. Tis
the current, no disguise.
I will harness they arc,
they bow and thy common
beam to this no completely
futile interstellar dream!
~ William Blake in Cyberspace
