Welcome to Dinosaur Eats Man. New and perhaps improved, from your last visit. If you've never visited, I promise you, still new and perhaps improved. I say "perhaps improved" because, you know, different strokes for different folks.
They just resurrected Celebrity Jeopardy for Will Ferrell's hosting of the season finale of SNL. The best thing, no doubt, even seconds into it, that SNL has done in a long time.
I don't know why I imagined that I wouldn't stop and watch it all. I did. Quite the triumph. Moving on...
I'd like to take this opportunity to show you around this little Micro Dys.. er.. Blogosphere, to get you accustomed to your surroundings, because, at least starting now (read: hereafter), I'd like to think you'll come around fairly often.
Arriving, you were first greeted by our new mascot here at D.E.M., Grimlock. Leader of the Dinobots, the exceptionally powerful, often loners of the Autobots. "Me Grimlock no bozo, me king!"
Above, you'll find a section christened "Recent Tweets." To some of you, that will be pretty self-explanatory, to others, less so. Feel free to visit http://www.twitter.com and fill yourself in on the microblogging sensation that's sweeping the nation. Otherwise, settle with this brief synopsis: Twitter allows a community of individuals, spanning your average Joe to your not-so-average NBA star to your right-out-important public official, to communicate with one another and the community by and large in short messages (140 characters maximum). Some people use it to chronicle their personal lives. Some use it, as figureheads for companies, for some things like customer service. Some people... well, chronicle their personal lives... from space. Social media is crazy. Social media is CRAZY.
Back to Earth. (Witty, aren't I?) I generally tweet this and that. Let me know if there is something else you'd ever like me to trend towards, won't you?
To your left, People, a collection of other blogs, of people whose threads have at least once crossed (and likely will again cross) mine. If you can't find anything you like here, no doubt someone's story, someone's life, someone's whatever-he-or-she-puts-into-his-or-her-blog will tickle your fancy. I am lucky enough to know globe-travellers, family-raisers, trail-walkers, life-livers, all sorts of folk.
Below that, Places, a soon-to-be-updated collection of photos of scenes I come upon in my travels near and far.
And further still, Things, a perhaps somewhat bizarre collection of things all around the Internet.
Past, a rather standard archive of this blog. (Short for web log, did you know that? Probably.)
And here, where you are, the meat and two (or three.) To some of you, that will sound familiar... a label earlier bestowed upon a failed project of mine, "Our Feature Presentation." Pay no attention to the blog behind the curtain. Here you'll find what I hope will keep you coming back for more. I promise the next post won't be from the perspective of a pompous tour guide.
See you again soon. Soon. The caution tape is coming down, the velvet ropes scooted out of the way, the banisters polished, the candles lit, the wine poured, the phonograph cranked up, sweet sounds of Louis drifting across the ether to greet you...
