Explain Myself?

So it occurred to me earlier that I might want to start another blog. Not because I have a whole lot to talk about, but mostly just to keep myself amused. After coming up with a clever title (although I'm not quite convinced that this is among the most heinous acts of tomfoolery, I like the phrase) and a URL to go with it (Hamnet was the short-lived son of William Shakespeare. This is not, and never will be, a ham network.), it occurred to me that at this point, I should probably come up with some sort of theme––idea––raison d'etre––thing. Something to write about. After spending nearly ten minutes deliberating––not a huge amount of time in the grand scheme of things, but far too much for something as trivial as this––I decided that I should instead take advantage of my ability to extemporate about nothing, and not worry about it.
To that end, I feel I should offer a disclaimer: this blog has very little to offer. I am not a political pundit, a social commentator or an art historian (though I may, on occasion, moonlight as any of those, or even a member of some other informed trade), and this blog will rarely, if ever contain much that is informative, educational, or worth reading during your lunch break. What it hopes to be is amusing, in such a way as to make you chuckle rather than guffaw, something to read when your code is compiling (that is, if you're not too busy sword fighting), something to bring up to cover the fact that you're playing games instead of working, or when your boss has taken a break to go out and work up his blood pressure a little more.
When I update this is likely to be correlated to when I have homework and how much I have: though I ought to update when I have very little homework, I'm likely to update when I have a great deal to work through and as such, am on the computer and trying to find ways to avoid working. My dear readers should thus be flattered: this blog and their amusement ranks higher than my homework. That said, it's perhaps best left to the reader's imagination what else ranks superior to my homework...
Homework aside, I hope to update at least twice a week, and not at all on the weekends––I should have better things to do then.

...Expect weekend updates.

i think it would actually be better if it was a ham network.

Well...maybe it'll moonlight as one at some point.


...what do you suppose a ham network would *be*?

it would be a haven for ham addicts.
