Cue up “Big Time” by Peter Gabriel:

HI THERE!

Zed’s none too big on making splashy announcements of major events, so on the occasion of my assumption of full authoring status here at MMG, it’s up to me to toot my own horn. No problem, got years of practice at that.

First of all, thanks to Zed and Jym for allowing me aboard. A couple of years ago, when I first discovered this blog, I offhandedly mentioned that I might like to run one of my own, and Zed offered to set me up. I turned him down, but finally the temptation got the better of me. The fame, fortune, and glamour of the blogosphere have proved too strong to resist. Plus, of course, there’s the opportunity to share my babble with the world at large.

I also want to thank Jen at Circadian Shift and Adam at Mookie, whose blogs I’ve followed for the past couple of years and who’ve occasionally posted things at my suggestion. (Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, Adam.)

So if you’re wondering what Jimcat is all about, a good first source is the “About Jimcat” link on the upper left. Yeah, it’s got dead links and nonexistent pages and large parts of it haven’t been updated in nearly a decade, but it’s still me.

As for my posting habits, here’s a summary that I sent Zed when I asked for the keys to the kingdom: “I figure I’d post regularly but not daily, anywhere from a few posts per week to a few per month. Most frequent topics would be transportation, generational and pop-cultural cycles, computer strategy games, science fiction conventions, and observations on human stupidity.”

Now it’s just a matter of churning out the posts. Stay tuned, I’ve got lots to say, oh yes indeed.
