Hello. Welcome to the Not A Blog™.

The first thing I should mention is the whole “Not A Blog™” thing. It’s something of a running joke. For all practical purposes this thing is a blog, but I like to differentiate it from “regular” blogs—whatever that means—on a number of points. I post longer things on a set schedule rather than a bunch of small items whenever the inspiration hits. I generally don’t link all over the internet to the current hot sites, and I don’t maintain a blogroll. I don’t know what a trackback is. While I do discuss quite a bit of internet apocrapha and techology and science related things, I also talk about art, philosophy, literature, music, and so on. I try to keep posts about my personal life to a minimum unless it ties into something more interesting. I think all these things in aggregate make this something less of a blog in terms of how most people think of a blog, and so I claim to be Not A Blog™.

The trademark symbol is also a joke.

Here’s a bit about my history as it pertains to my time on Earth. My name is Ted. I have a BFA in graphic design and I work in marketing doing multimedia production. I help with independent films and I write. I guess I compose music, too, if programming notes into a sequencer counts as composition. I enjoy playing the piano, even though I don’t play well. I ride motorcycle.

More importantly, I’m a pixel-stained technopeasent futurist-wannabe.
