Blogging career
John bought his first URL in 1996 to migrate his self published zine to the web. This first autobiographical ezine ran from 1996 to 2000.

He first achieved internet notoriety when one of his stories got him into trouble with Fruit of the Loom. When they sent a cease and desist order on March 2, 1998 demanding that he take down a parody of their logo that he made for a blog post. The post is still up.

He is also a contributor for the Burning Blog, the official blog of Burning Man.
