#1: Introducing Toaster

Good evening, fickle masses.

How are you?

You may have noticed that this is a newish blog. It has been birthed from a series of profoundish conversations between myself and MissInformation regarding the current state of society viewed through a political, economic, and rational lens. Sometimes we talk about how what what is now got to where and what it is now from where it came from and how it got there and even maybe why. I figure that, for these first 2 posts, we ought perhaps introduce ourselves with some anonymous and vague background to better inform what readers may come about why we smell the world the way we do.

So:

I am TOASTER! I am a young scrawny/gangly/pasty man who lives in the bleak northern United States (Michigan) and labors underground doing science(!). I am not qualified to speak to you, but I will write nonetheless because I am stubborn. Although I am entirely biased (disclosure!), I will attempt to not just write about science and science's stuff and the stuff science does and makes and can see/do/smell and will instead try to focus on the issues at hand that happen outside the laboratory. In what spare time I have, I indulge in the ironic-white-hipster's favorite contrarian and lackluster past-time: making beats and music-like sounds. I like to pretend that my beats are beatier and my music is musickier than others, but that is ironic. To clarify, I am not a white man of the ironic hipster variety; instead it would me much more accurate to describe me as a white man of the nerdy geek variety (I mention this because hipster appropriation of geek dogma greatly aggravates me). To forewarn you, I am not good at grammar and synonyms so I will often make up words at short-notice. In conclusion, I have a puppy (warning: this link contains levels of high-res cuteness that are NSFW)!



Now MissInformation may introduce herself in her own words (more disclosure: we're not related!).
