It has been a momentous year for Zombie Rights. The ZRC has done outreach galore, dipped our toes into political controversy, led a Zombie Rights rally in Illinois and even participated in the world’s first (to our knowledge) Zombie Rights Debate in Victoria, Texas. But this post isn’t about us. Standing up for the rights [...]

One of our trusted UK informants obtained an interview with two of the apparent leading lights of the Living Supremacist Architecture movement, and the results are a chilling look into the attempted harnessing of consumer culture to prejudice and oppression: So our solution to the idea of a zombie apocalypse is not a ‘one-off’ mobile [...]

So I’ve salvaged the ZRC’s computational engine just in the nick of time, and upgraded all our important stuff to being stored safe and sound off-site via the magic of Dropbox. Good thing too, because the tips are coming in fast and furious on Twitter. For example, did you know that Star Trek: Enterprise had [...]

A discussion came up on Twitter about the issue of DRM and books after I stated my distaste for the practice. When the art director got home from work we talked about it too, and both concluded that one of the chief evils of DRM on books is that books are meant to be readable, [...]

As mentioned [...]

Well, yesterday two big events occurred in my quest for ZombieWriMo glory. First, the evil one, Princess of Lies, Mother of all Treachery Michelle Hartz sneakily got to 50k words first. The second thing is that, of course, I got there as well, and have now effectively completed the ZombieWriMo challenge too. So what now? [...]

Here’s what I’m thankful for right now: next Tuesday I get to go all the way to Texas* to debate a learned academic on the subject of Zombie Rights. And they made an awesome poster to promote the event too! *Rumors that this venue proved especially appealing due to the relative weather conditions in Madison [...]

I’ve been sitting on this one waiting to make the announcement but I figure that now is as good a time as any. Remember when the ZRC blog excoriated the University of Houston-Victoria for making ‘World War Z’ the centerpiece of their ‘Community of Readers’ program? Well, one thing led to another via the magic [...]
