The Future is... Soonish

So, recently I mentioned that I was considering trying to create some shorter, recurring format posts to help fill in the often lengthy gaps between my regular posts. Instead of weeks of complete silence, I hope to publish something at least mildly, momentarily diverting a couple times a week. It had occurred to me that these shorter posts might have the unintentional result of diluting the quality of my blog as a whole, but who am I kidding? If you're here reading this, you don't have any delusions about what you'll find here. I do try to make sure what I write is grammatically correct and hopefully at least a little entertaining or enlightening, but I have no misconceptions about what this blog is. The style of the recurring posts will likely be a little less formal and likely not to everyone's taste, but they're free, so if you don't like them, at least you haven't lost anything.

At the moment, I have plans for three recurring formats. My goal is to do a post for each once a week, but that's likely still too ambitious for my rather lazy work ethic busy schedule. If it works out after the first few weeks, then maybe I'll formalize the schedule, but for now, they'll appear whenever I take the time to sit down and write one.

Week Links - Every week I read hundreds of stories and articles online, and many of them I share through my various accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Which network I share it on is dependent on the article's content but also somewhat arbitrary. This feature, in addition to having my favorite name, will be a collection of the most interesting or important things I reposted throughout the week, along with some brief commentary on each of them.

Insert Title Here - Nearly every week  there are two stores that I visit, Best Buy and my favorite local comic shop Happy Harbor. It's there that I help to feed my pop culture addiction by buying new release Blu-rays, videogames, and comics. This feature will be a collection of some of the more notable releases and why I think you should look at getting them too.

If You're Not, You Should Be - The concept for this final feature is right there in the title. Each post will feature something, whether that be an activity, product, media, or trend that I feel is worthy of your attention, something that, if you're not already aware of, you really should be.

And that's it for now. You can expect the first of these posts to appear in the next week or so, and then hopefully with some regularity after that. Now the real question is how long I'll be able to keep up that schedule.

Sleep well,
