The Internets has you, Neil

22 10 2008

What do you write to introduce yourself to a new blog? It’s harder than it looks! glancing over my shoulder I’m tempted to rip off one of the starting posts of one of the great bloggers but noticed one thing; most of them don’t have one.

The most concise and awesome introduction I can find is that of Jason Kottke, posted way back in 1998 when Quake II still ruled the world. So read that post then come back here and you’ve got the best of both of the worlds of blogging, see?

I figure I should explain a little about this bloggery expedition. I’ve been reading blogs, sites and other repositories of random information for donkey’s years and I’ve even tried my hand at maintaining a blog or twelve, the most recent being the inevitably doomed A sine 9. My compatriots have all suffered similarly accursed wide reading habits and we feel we should subject allow you to share in our vast and pointless repository of knowledge. Here me and my fellow adventurers in Internet writing have tried to create a vault of stuff we find interesting as well as having space for the inevitable Angry Rant™, allowing us to keep a posting schedule where we don’t have to be brilliant and entertaining every day. Not that we aren’t. It’s just nice to have some breathing space, you understand.

Our goal here is to share what we enjoy with you, anonymous mass. You may think we’re writing drivel and choose never to visit again; well STFU you’re wrong and some kind of deviant who does unpleasant things to dromedaries. Some of you might stick around and see what we can squeeze forth from our herd-mind, which is dandy. Others may become hopelessly obsessed with our glorious prose and begin a campaign of stalking, which is kind of OK too if you’re Zoetica Ebb.

So subscribe to the feed, bookmark the site or forget you ever came to this forsaken manor and carry on with your ungulate entertainment. Meanwhile, the cat requires attention and he can shred a grown man’s lap in seconds.
