The Direction of this Blog

When I started this blog, it was with the intention of posting technical content – posts about programming projects and Linux tutorials and the like. Over time, my focus has grown to generally include ‘things that interest me’, which includes rambling about video games and Doctor Who. I’ve also been including more Feminist and Activist content, mostly because talking about Doctor Who and Duke Nukem Forever invites that sort of discussion.

So, at this point, I think I’ll state it more or less officially: this blog is about anything that can be broadly classed as ‘geeky’. I’ll post on any subjects where I feel like I have sufficiently interesting things to say.

I will also likely be pulling more personal (and by extension, more Feminist and Activist, given the maxim that The Personal is Political) material into this blog. In particular, I have a personal-reflection-heavy review series of Wandering Son in the works. Since Phil Sandifer recently described me as a Feminist blogger and this a Feminist blog, this seems fair enough.

Don’t worry, I’ll try to keep posting sufficiently interesting material to match my current level of ‘interesting’, whatever you think that happens to be.

A New Hope

I once had a blog on livejournal, titled slashsplat.  This blog didn’t see very many posts, because I had to log out of my personal journal to log in to it.  So I decided that a blog hosted somewhere other than livejournal would be a good idea.

That’s the purpose of this site.  It will be somewhat more general; the goal of this blog is to discuss geek culture and everything that may mean to me:  programming, technology, gaming (video and table-top), and whatever else springs to mind.  However, each post will try to be an entity separate from myself; personal matters that I feel like ranting about will not appear here.  I have a personal journal for that, after all.

Anyone who feels like reading this little piece of the Internet is welcome to come along for the ride.  If it’s just an exercise in self-indulgence, then so be it.

(Below this post, you may notice I’ve included all of the posts from slashsplat as well.  Those few posts span a lot of changes in my life, so the tone will vary as you venture farther back.)
