When I launched Nuketown’s latest design in June, I consciously switched it away from an “issue-based” model in which content was published on a set schedule, to a blog-like model, in which content was published when I felt like it. The goal, on my end, was to relieve some of the self-imposed stress of trying … Read more
I’ve been publishing Nuketown as a webzine, and then as a sort of webzine/blog hybrid, since 1996. So why am I ringing in the new year by creating a blog apart from the ol’thermonuclear site? There are a bunch of reasons, but the biggest one is that despite its shifts to a more bloggish set-up, … Read more
As you can probably tell from the lack of posts around here lately, Nuketown’s on a mini-hiatus for the holidays. I’ve got a week off from work, and I’m using it relax. I’m spending time with my wife and daughter, getting together with friends, playing games (Halo 2 on Xbox, Mario 64 on Nintendo DS), … Read more
sion of Nuketown. The ol’thermonuclear burg has been thoroughly overhauled, with a new look, a new structure, and a few new tricks. This redesign has been a long time coming — the last time we did something like this was back in August 2000. That design was a good one, and it served us well … Read more
Nuketown has been online since June 1996. That’s 8 years folks — eight long, fun, content filled years. But as I work my way through Nuketown’s redesign, I’ve reluctantly come to terms with the fact that it’s time to burn a few of the ol’thermonuclear burg’s bridges. There are pages on Nuketown that haven’t been … Read more
Observant visitors to the beta for Nuketown’s redesign site will note that I’ve removed all of the e-mail addresses from the site. You can still contact me via Nuketown, but you’ll need to do it via a Web-based form. Even fiction and non-fiction queries will be handled through a form rather than by an e-mail … Read more
After months (well, more like years) of threatening it, I’m finally redesigning Nuketown. The current design launched back in 2000, and has served the site well. It’s seen several innovations, not the least of which was the introduction of database-driven content. But as with all Web sites, time has not been kind to Nuketown. New … Read more
So what’s a NukeBlog? Good question. In thinking about Nuketown, I’ve found that there really wasn’t any place for me to post quick hits about topics currently on my mind. Admittedly, I could’ve just used “editorials” for that, but personally, I view an editorial as something a little more thought out, a little more polished. … Read more
Nuketown is closed to fiction submissions. After June 2002, the fiction section will be closing down (although it will live on in the archives) and it is not likely to re-open any time in the near future. This does not mean that Nuketown itself is shutting down. The rest of the webzine will continue on, … Read more
An update about Nuketown’s “no snail mail” policy for fiction and non-fiction submissions.
