Because this will certainly be a good use of my time.

In what must be a sure sign of a surfeit of free time, I have decided to take up blogging again, after yet another long absence from spraying the contents of my mind across a virtual page for the Google spider bots to enjoy. If future Internet archaeologists stumble upon this blog (don't think that won't be a real job), the "two weeks of mild activity followed by months of utter silence" pattern will surely indicate brief periods where I deluded myself into simultaneously thinking that I have enough time to maintain a routine posting schedule, that I have anything original or thought-provoking to say, and that someone, somewhere might care enough to read this crap. Sorry, Mom, family doesn't count. You get enough of my mouth as it is.

I have decided to keep the previous content on here, mostly because I believe that old shame should be seen, not hidden, and the old title stays, mostly because I suck at titles and until such a time that a more creative title that isn't already taken pops into my head, this one stays. Most of the stuff that ends up here will be about technology, politics or the video game industry, but some will diverge into the other cruft that I populate my free time with, like the automotive industry or TV or whatever else I feel that I need to say somewhere so I can purge it from my system. Since I have recently obtained my undergraduate degree (something that I will very likely be writing a post about reasonably soon), I should have enough time to post semi-regularly - hopefully at least once a day.

So, a warm "welcome back" to my usual audience of search engine crawlers and NSA subversive-thought detectors, and an equally warm welcome to anyone else who happens to find their way here. I hope that you find my scrawlings informative and entertaining.
