So it's been another long hiatus, it's so tiring keeping up with this Blog, so much writing and so little time.  Recently I've decided to try and branch out a bit and do some things I "want" to do.  Not really a mid life crisis but as I've recently "retired" from the military I'm looking for new adventures and avenues.  One of my hobbies has been a life long interest in "nerd culture" which is a contrived way of saying that I enjoy science fiction, fantasy, computer games, movies, books, etc.  While doing this I've sunk a lot of time into those various hobbies.  And I wondered if maybe I could do something on the side to tap into all that, until now, relatively useless knowledge.  Though to be certain it does arm one for a debate about the relative merits of Star Wars and Star Trek.  Other than also giving me a slight edge in relating to my sons hobbies which are along the same lines, it's been entertaining but not much more (which is certainly something and it's main purpose to the consumer of such things).  I buy him a computer game or a console, or upgrade the computer "for him" and reap some of the benefits, win-win no?

One of those nerd culture tings I'm involved in is obsessing with a game called World of Tanks, sunk a lot of time into it.  Along the way I got pretty darn good at it.  Top 1% kind of good.  Recently I signed on with a nerd culture web site that is just starting.  I'll be creating content for it relating to World of Tanks.  Kind of the beat writer for that game if you will.  Ideally it turns out to be much more, delving into other areas like movies and books, and other games.  For now it'll be baby steps and before I get too far ahead of myself I have to produce an article and have it not suck.  And after that I make millions off the internet right?  Maybe, definite maybe, but here we go in any event.  Off to see the wizard, never tell me the odds, and all that.  Check the site out, it's pretty good.
