First things first: what’s the deal with our name? Well, like most dumb names, it started as an inside joke. I thought of the little caped “t” and the rest is history.
Most of the magic happens in the “blog” itself. I’ve dragged over a lot of old, pointless content because of how convenient the Search and Archive features are. The posterior of the site will take care of the rest of the content – some of which may be worth a laugh, but probably not. The music and movies links, for instance, will take you to pages living in a different template altogether. That’s what the whole site looked like in those heady, hard-to-maintain, pre-WordPress days.
As far as purpose… that kind of depends on the topic. Sometimes we want to share a thought, a movie recommendation, some of that world-renowned Buckeye state insight. Some posts serve little to no purpose (we’ll leave you to determine which ones!). I wrote a book, and Coffing & I occasionally write a comic. These are things for which there are links in the top navigation. This is something you have likely already picked up on.
Check out the boxes to the right for links to articles, YouTube vids, music, and sites that may interest you, provided you don’t hate me and my interests. Suggestions? Comments? Feel free to drop a line in the comments section of any post!
