What is ‘Core Dump?’

Now, before anyone starts imagining a 300-esque sequence with a bunch of geeks running towards a cliff, shouting “THIS… IS… CORE DUMP!!!!“, let me just get the basics out of the way.

Core Dump is the blog of a very opinionated geek – namely, me. Although I may write about anything that strikes my fancy, I have a few common topics (in no particular order):

Politics: When I was a kid, I had ambitions of ruling the world. As a consequence, I became interested in politics. So I will write about political topics quite often.

Computers: Lest you think this is just another run-of-the-mill political blog, I do write about technology/computers from time to time. I am a geek, after all. I also do a somewhat-regular series called “Desktop Madness,” where I post interesting desktop (wallpaper) images.

Cars: I have a few strong opinions here as well. And let’s just say, I like trucks.

Pets: I have two rabbits that live in my house. But lately, I don’t write about them much – they’ve gone and started their own blog for that.

Personal: I started this blog writing about personal topics, and I still sometimes do write things that are more about me than about what I think, so you’ll find those intermixed with everything else.

There are, of course, other topics I write about: just look at the category links in the sidebar (and maybe the tag cloud) to see what else I’ve been writing about lately.

So there you have it: that’s what Core Dump is all about. Mostly. Sort-of. Look, it’s probably just best for you to go read the posts and decide for yourself. After all, isn’t that why you’re here?
