Know Your Geek

It’s no secret I have a lot of fun over on Twitter. It’s my preferred internet hangout, and probably represents 50% of the time I spend online.

The Journal Habit

Everyone needs a compulsion hobby; mine is Satanism keeping journals. I have 8 of them going at the moment. How did this happen to a nice normal guy like me? How did I wind up with a litter of diaries to feed, nourish, groom, and otherwise look after? Wouldn’t one be enough? Here’s what got [...]
