welcome

Hello and Welcome to the official blog for the TNT network. In the past, I've tried setting up blogging systems, usually developing one "in-house," but I usually lost interest in the development process when it came to creating a slick administrative interface to maintain it without having to log into phpMyAdmin. Hell, there is usually no better way to manipulate MySQL databases than with phpMyAdmin, but that is beside the point.

Thank you Google for coming up with yet another free web service where I can post my day-to-day activities, random thoughts, rants, and whatever else that may or may not be read by anyone in particular.

I'm a little leery of what I will post here, since it is very possible that my employer, government, media outlet, various Internet communities (e.g. Strange Talkers, AIM buddies, guild members), classmates, instructors, school administrators, administrators generally, family members, enemies, life-long arch-nemesis, deities, critics, dissidents, newspaper readers, random Iowans (or American citizens, generally speaking) and angry ex-girlfriends may very well read the content off this blog, learn about my online persona, and be able to associate that online persona with my real life identity (which I will not name on this post for the sake of protecting the parts of my life which are fragile... that is, my work life). After a connection being made, I would have to answer for every single little sin, mistake, mishap, injustice, crime (nothing major, don't worry), and insult that I have committed. It would be worse than applying for a job, but not as bad as running for public office, but still, where's my thick skin when I need it?

Anywho, if you just found this blog randomly, you can browse the subject of the blog title, the TNT network, at http://www.tnt.gs. I originally registered the domain on January of 2001, and have claimed it since. A search of archived pages on the Web Archives will turn up a few feeble attempts at making a personal web-site, but I ultimately decided to strip it of the gibberish, and basically left gibberish on it: lots of funny, unfunny, offensive, pleasing, disgusting, violent, and political flash animation cartoons which I found to be entertaining (for at least one view). The views espoused on those flash cartoons do not necessarily reflect the views of myself or my close buddies or friends.
