The Out Campaign
Your Eldritch Host
Welcome to my online outpost among the swarming electrons and silicon data hives of the Web. Have fun poking around the site, and if you find something you like, feel free to subscribe by email or RSS feed for regular updates.
I'm a skeptic, a nontheist, a Weird Tale fiction nerd, an amateur fractal artist, and I am currently studying Human Communication, Argumentation Theory and Higher Mathematics...for fun.
Just a note: I generally try to avoid being a jerk, and I'll treat all commentors with the same level of civility they show to me. I can be a smartass at times, but I'll rein in my tone and keep it to a level appropriate to the situation.

Even more so since my sight is not what it used to be.It's not easy to read an entire long book aloud and remain consistent in the character of the reading so this is my tip o' the hat to the narrators and performers of these works.One audiobook I was prepared to love turned out to be an ear-tortur […]noreply@blogger.com (Anne)

Hey thanks for the latest list action. Much appreciated. Last summer I went to a music fest. and this group of renegade ‘physicists’ gave a lecture on the theory of everything…sort of. their theory included eastern mysticism and prophecy. unfortunately i do not know enuff about real physicist to debate them. Why can’t science be easy like math/statistics and biblical textual criticism (that’s a joke). Awesome, yo.
