NItpicking: the explanation

... or, why this exists. Basically, I read a lot. Sometimes I watch video or listen to music or something. I wanted a place to state opinions on all of that. This blog is it.

Why "nitpicking"? Because I compulsively nitpick. According to my mom, my very first sentence was a correction. Stopped at a railroad crossing, she said, "Look at the choo-choo!" to 10-month-old me.

And I said, "Not choo-choo, mommy. Twain!"

I've been correcting people ever since.

You can expect to find lots of book reviews here, with occasional movie, comic book, or other reviews. You can also expect to read about I-CON, the science fiction convention I work for.

I love comments. I love to talk.

What you won't find here is personal stuff. Anything about my personal life is likely to be in my private newsgroup at Dueling Modems. I like that interface better, and I can restrict who sees that more conveniently.

Welcome. Hope you like it here.
