AskMeFi wants to know: Did you read encyclopedias as a kid? I did. We had an ancient set of World Books and everytime I’d go to look something up, I’d get sucked into reading them for hours. Come to think of it, I do the same thing nowadays with Wikipedia.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

They made me a NERD!
