I hate these update posts, mostly because I feel like I do too many off them instead of writing something actually worth your time reading. This isn't supposed to be a blog about my personal life. Although many of my post are informed and prefaced by what happens to me personally, this isn't a diary. I try to be informative: entertainment reviews, news and pop culture commentary, yada yada yada. Sure! I might have gone to Savannah over the weekend, but you're going to read a post that reviews something I did, not one on how great it was I got to spend time with my family.
Second, I feel that I make a lot of promises I don't keep when I write these posts. (Sorry.) I promised to focus more on social media related stuff but I don't. I promised I'd tone do the politics, but then the government does (or in most cases, doesn't do) something that I can't help but comment on.
I'm now doing some managing editor duties at GNerks.com, an entertainment blog written by geeks, nerds, and dorks for other geeks, nerds and dorks about things geeks, nerds, and dorks enjoy. (Think Nerdist.com and other geek sites you might come across on the interweb.) Gnerks was started by my friend Ben Fuller and me back in January but we didn't really do much with it until middle of last month when we started to recruit some of our friends and the site came to life. We are going into our third week already receiving over three thousand page views and our first 75 like on our Facebook page. My duties as managing editor consist mostly of copy-editing and publication management, but it's taken a lot of my time, especially from this blog. Another side effect of this opportunity is that I now have to create content for both sites.
What does this mean? Well, it means that some of my reviews, especially for comic books and graphic novels, movies, and sci-fi and fantasy books; geek related commentary; and event coverage; will probably appear either exclusively or concurrently at Gnerks. I will finish part two of my 12th Doctor speculations in the coming days, after which expect to find similar post at GNerks in all but a few cases.
As far as Wibbly-wobbly, Timey-Wimey Stuff goes, I really hope to follow through with my plans to turn this site into something more like a general interest blog meets Atlanta Magazine meets LifeHacker with a dash of National Geographic and Popular Science and a hint of CNN and Mashable. Very tall order, I know. Especially if all I seem to write nowadays are these damn updates.

So here we are again. The beginning of new month and the year is half over. I haven't changed. (Sorry.)
Anyways! On to other matters at hand.
