About

A little bit about this blog...

This was the first blog (back then you called them weblogs) I set up, way back in 2005. I have a habit of holding on to things, probably a bit of a hoarder both physically and digitally if I'm to be honest but of all those things I'm actually glad I kept hold of this one and I'm planning to do some more with it.

I've deleted a number of the original posts from back then as reading them was a touch cringey. I suppose in a way it's good that I can look back at what I wrote and see places I could have written better and improved. I've left some posts intact, this doesn't mean they're any less cringey but I thought they might still be relevant and in some way, a nerdy way, still cool. It's always good to look back and see that things could have been worse too!

I'm planning to return to writing, if anything just to keep thoughts flowing from my brain to prevent ruminating on things.

The name of this blog comes from the Pantera song of the same name. Still a cracking tune to listen to.

The "Ryan's Rules" series of posts aim to be a somewhat humorous tribute to Ensign Robin Lefler's rules from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "The Game." I think in a way the theme of that episode is quite fitting to what I want to do here again. I want to reclaim the power of my words and point out things I find interesting. There'll be no to boldly go here thanks very much. Who would have thought that episode of Star Trek was a foreshadowing of the current brain rot content that drains so much brain power globally.
