I've been quietly building my autograph project--in which I've been getting celebrities like Yoko Ono, Bruce Sterling, and David Sedaris to sign "Paul Schmelzer"--into a standalone site, but now that
Digg,
Neatorama, and
Yahoo Picks have linked to it, I'll offer a more public welcome. Inspired in part by
Noam Chomsky's signing of my name, I titled the project
Signifier, Signed, and so far I've got 30 or so signatures online, plus ephemera (Mikhail Baryshnikov's brush-off, pornstar artist Annie Sprinkle's words of encouragement, a post-it from Paul Wellstone). More to follow, and eventually a new non-Blogger design. Please check it out, and
Digg it if you see fit. (It's on
Reddit somewhere too, but I can't find the link.)

Above: my name as signed by the late, great
Sen. Paul Wellstone.
My autograph project, Signifier, Signed, keeps growing: I've now got 45 posts up by celebrities who did or didn't (ahem, Ray Charles) sign my name, including this one by Cremaster creator and Mr. Bjork, Matthew Barney, obtained by a former Walker curator and scrawled on a cocktail napkin.
