Welcome to George Nowik’s Repository of Things and Stuffs!
Since Diaryland and LiveJournal seem to have been taken over by Russian Bots along with the rest of the internet, here we are. Setting up a blog on a personal site is all the rage. All the cool kids are doing it. I’m neither specifically cool or hip, but I’m going to do it anyway because writing is fun. Also, Echosmith has a copyright on Cool Kids so no reason to rattle the DMCA cage. ANYWAY. This is where my spastic brain dump is going to end up. The goal is to at least update weekly. Hold me to it. If I fail to update, come by and collect your nickel.
(this should totally be called a ‘blogue’ since that name gives me the chuckles)
