Okay, I’m getting things figured out around here. Unfortunately, I haven’t been as welcoming as I had hoped.

So, first of all, let’s welcome the new guys.

Deane from Gadgetopia was the first non-site-running-guy to write a post on Misc. Asst. once it relaunched. (And by relaunch, I mean “not changing a thing but actually posting.”) He is a real blogger and he does web stuff too, and since Gadgetopia is pretty well known, actually, he can give Misc. Asst. some legitimacy.

Yeah right.

Randall - an old grade/middle/high school classmate - is blogging straight from Japan. His posts will be several hours behind. Or ahead? Dunno.

Tevin is some kid. Just kidding. He’s a well spoken kid, still in high school, who cracks me up every time he says something. He’s the resident LOLcat guy, I fear, but I think that’s okay. He’s learning to write the same way I did - a little bit, every day.

Finally, Tim is an old friend. He’s in DC, and he likes Hot Water Music, if you couldn’t tell. It seems as though he’s sporting an odd Kerouac-esque train-of-thought rambling style that I couldn’t replicate if I tried. Welcome, Tim. Next, write a post about The Boss, please.

So, with those out of the way, one more — we welcome Dave to the ranks. He’s fresh from the war, so hopefully he can use some of his skills in keeping this blog safe from terrorists and sleeper cells and all of those other buzzwords. He was my roommate, and we disagreed on nearly everything ideologically aside from the fact that Perfect Dark was a great game. Still, he’s one of the smartest guys I know, and since this site, so far, is a nepotistic (not a word) sinkhole, he’s coming on board.

Okay, back to the normal stuff.
