Not Often Infrequent Consistency!

The Birth of the Brown Adder

So let me start off by saying that I'm deeply humbled to be invited to post on NotOften.  Why do you ask?  Any imbecile can set up a blog.  Yeah - it's not that.  As people can tell you, I have a habit of putting my foot in my mouth.  A lot.  If you want an awkward situation, I'll be more than happy to provide it - 5 minutes before you want it, in fact.  So it's nice to see someone still has marginal faith in me.  Hopefully I won't make too many of those types of posts here, but, ya know, if I slip up every now and then, maybe it'll just make things more awesome. Right?  ... right?

Anyhow, I've got a couple of ideas on what to write so far.  I'd like to start a semi-regular column called The Needle, where I'll post a review of some album I've listened to recently.  Don't worry - I won't be a pretentious bastard all the time.  Some will be dead common albums, while others will be a bit more eclectic in taste.  The bottom line - they're albums that I really like or really hate.  Another idea is a series of posts called Nerdgasm, where I go off on some cool new gadget or hardware innovation.  Basically, I'll do a half-assed job of what Engadget or Gizmodo will post, and expect you guys to be mildly interested.  Maybe I'll also post some stuff on the life of a grad student, cause, you know, I'm one of those.

Any other ideas?  I'm up for a lot of challenges (not really).  But perhaps you guys will have better ideas than me.
