Annoying my friends is not enough, I need strangers ...

Welcome to blog. This is more of a place where I can post research, joke fragments, story ideas, links to political essays -- little publishing bits and rants now that I don't really have time to do stand-up.

The idea of blog-as-research pit (he calls it a "newsmine") was originally suggested by filthily talented writer and occasional drinking companion Warren Ellis, who has his own little record of our world's ongoing yet molasses-paced apocalypse over at Die Puny Humans. (WARNING: That is not a work-safe site. It is barely a brain-safe site.) You will note he also references a monkey, but that is pure coincidence. His filthy monkey plans. My monkey is a monkey of action.

We'll talk movies & television (both as product and industry), conspiracy, politics, comics, gaming, blatant logrolling for friends, and general weirdness. There will be occasional updates for my family, to in some way convince them that I'm not negligent in my attentions, merely eccentric.

I've always felt, "the price of attention is entertainment." I'll try to be a fair value, but know that I'm fully aware very few of you are really paying all that much attention.

Woo! I get to be the first comment. Howdy John! I saw a link on die puny humans about the KF Monkey and wondered "is that the same John Rogers that sometimes updates a story about drunk southern girls with guns and zombie toddlers? Why yes it is!" Then I felt stupid 'cause I remembered that you were the reason I had bookmarked die puny humans in the first place. It's like this internet thing is a web or something.

Looking forward to reading the Monkey. Oh, and since you don't allow anonymous posts, I had to go and start my own blog.

Welcome to blogging, John. Your life, as you know it, is now over. Now someone's going to have to explain to Jenkins what a blog is. You ever gonna come play in Boston?

Well Rogers, you got me hooked on "Die Puny Humans" while we were doing the pilot. Glad to see you started a blog yourself.

I have know doubt that your postings will be worth the price of attention.

More stuff to read! Yay!

Oh and to post I had to start a blog myself...
Brain's BlogNothing there yet, but there will be.

So it begins. Cheers!

Must be a first blogging day -- I restarted my blog today too -- (TFS Reluctant> -- you're listed just below Warren's half a dozen sites.

Welcome to the blogsphere...
