How it Works

Recently, it has occurred to me just how awesome (in the most literal sense of this word) it is to be alive right now. When I say right now, I mean our general era - the millennium plus or minus ten years. No matter how frustrated,or disillusioned, or dare I say hopeful (that's a new one) we become with the state of things, there is no denying that our shenanigans are making for a pretty interesting history class sometime in the not-too-distant future (assuming the large hadron collider doesn't implode the universe first. If you are unsure of the status on this, check here). The past twenty years or so have borne witness to a lot of events that were immediately ingrained in our collective memory - whether we are okay with that or not. Since these little morsels of ready-made history are much more fascinating than anything I might manage to accomplish, they will be the primary focus of my adventures in interwebbing. I'll choose appropriate (or not) exploits from a variety of spheres - social, political, scientific, technological, etc. - to feature and banter about. All you have to do is read. It will be fun! The world will become measurably more interesting as a direct result of my delightfully refined repartee. I'd try to keep my snarky comments to myself, but it's just less fun for everyone that way. Also this way I get to make more snarky comments than I would otherwise. I'm pretty sure that's why people have blogs.
