Hello readers. I call you readers even though there is a strong chance that, if you are not my mom, you ended up here entirely by accident. Actually, my mom doesn’t use the internet so actually you’re probably here by accident.
If you’ve stuck around this long, maybe you’re wondering about the name? The name comes from an episode of Justice League Unlimited called “For the Man Who Has Everything”, itself based on a classic Alan Moore story of the same name.
In it, a character called Mongul(if you don’t know who he is, imagine Space Hitler if he was also a yellow version of the Hulk. That clarifies things, right?), offers the following critique of humanity “You animals really are almost intelligent, aren’t you?”
The quote, and the phrase “almost intelligent” stuck with me, for some reason. Probably because most of my own insights can be summed up that way. It’s a good reminder to reign in my natural tendency toward arrogance and self-importance.
I used to say this website was “still under construction” but since that state seems to be more-or-less permanent I’m switching to “permanently under construction.” I’m posting at a rate of approximately one post every two years but have plans to marginally accelerate it. Also, I have no control at the moment over what ads appear on this site as they are generated by WordPress. Please let me know exactly how awful they are.
If, somehow, after all the evidence I’ve offered that it’s a bad idea, you are interested in employing me to write words for you for money, you can email me at: hodd.colin@gmail.com.
