And so, it begins...

Okay, so yet another blog. Why the heck did I do that? Because the others didn't really fit my ongoing writing style. Most were too specific- I bounce around a lot between interests, and it's torture to have to stick with one long enough to blog usefully about it. QC was too flippant. Basically, it implied that what I was writing about was boring and everyday. I really don't do boring; my brain literally (and yes, I am using that word correctly) shuts down important functions and I go into this weird hibernation state until something interesting happens. So... boring and everyday doesn't describe it.

This, however, does. My interests scatter widely, but the center is a general love for things that are weird and awesome. Thus, this blog, which I hope will continue a bit more reliably than the others.

As the description indicates, just about anything I find interesting could end up on this blog. It will likely contain several threads, and any given reader is likely to be interested in only some of them. That's fine; I hope to keep things organized enough that you can find the ones you want. Likely threads based on what I have written before are: Knitting and yarny stuff, sewing, condensation of information found a lot of different places into a more useful form, living with chronic illness, gaming (various kinds), philosophy, how do do risky things more safely, and the scientific method as applied to whatever my goal is for the day. Feel free to request more (or any) posts on a particular topic, as other people being interested makes a topic more interesting to me.

As my old website has died, I will be collecting the flotsam and jetsam on a new version, and some of the miscellaneous stuff, like the Exploding CD Incident and the Great Dyeing Experiment, will probably end up here. I will mark old content somehow so you know what I have done recently and what I am just gathering up.

Expect the look of the blog to evolve considerably; I just set things so that it's readable and I kinda like it at the moment. I will put more effort into it as I go. I am also trying to figure out how to use my original version of the logo, which was better-looking, but too tall for use on most computers. It took up way too much space. Would work nicely for the mobile version, though, and for links that need a graphic. *cough-Pinterest-cough*

Also, Hallo!
