Um... Yeah, About That...

Hey.

Been a while, hasn't it? I wish I had a good answer for you as to why I never write anything, even when I have so many functional ideas floating around in my fickle consciousness. I think some of it is dreaming bigger than my means, which causes my perfectionist tendencies to shoot myself down even before take-off. Another part of it comes from my easily-distracted...

Where was I?

Oh, now I remember. I was making stupid excuses. That should stop. So, here goes a shot at crushing my excuses and making something resembling a decent attempt at generating some stupid nerdy crap for you to sink your mind-teeth into. I'm gonna do my best to make the most of my fledgling nerd-hovel. I have staked my digital claim to 'NRDLNGR,' and I want to do the name proud.

First off is more rapid-fire writing. My journalism professors would strangle every ounce of life from me if they heard me say that, but I need to move with the shifting tides. Will my writing suffer because of it? Probably not. I really don't think I could make my writing any worse, so why spend time worrying about it? I mean, what fun is a slow-moving train wreck? So, get ready for a questionably articulated rocket-sled of nonsense coming right at you.

Next is multimedia. While I was half kidding about my crash-and-burn writing mentality, I really do think this one will end in some sort of flaming wreckage. I have zero background in sound engineering, video editing, or basic human social skills. Sufficed to say, the unholy union of these things and more will either make for some of the most unintentionally entertaining stuff out there or become one of the many so-bad-it's-bad pieces of work left to rot in the digital wastes. My hope is to get some live streams up since they seem to require little back-end work. Now, my recording equipment is, well, anything I have on hand. If this seems to work well, I might consider investing in some, but for now, it's whatever I find in my apartment. Think of it as being quaint in a world that has no room for the quaint.

I guess I look at this as a change of mindset for myself and NRDLNGR. I started with the focus on not screwing up. Now I just want to wreck it for my own entertainment.

And yours, too.

So get ready for some concentrated half-assery, because when you're too small to fail, there's nowhere to go but up...
