Housekeeping



Just a quick bit of house keeping.  Firstly, the site has gone through quite a few different looks in the last couple days as I settle on something I like going forward. Large changes should be done, but there may still be a couple of coloring and font changes coming. Nothing that's a particularly big deal.  I'm very picky when it comes to this sort of thing and I change my mind a lot, so this sort of thing is to be expected.

Secondly. I've been away from the blog for quite a long time, so the recommendations page had gotten quite stale. That is now partially rectified with a new recommendation that I won't detail here because then you won't click through to that page. And that's just lazy.

There'll be a couple more coming in the next week or so, as I work myself back into regular blogging and keeping this site up to date. Enjoy.

Some Notes: Updates will hopefully be more regular going forward. I'm not going to get into saying every certain day of the week or anything, but hopefully there should be something new to take in at least once a week, though there'll probably be exceptions to that.

New to Who



Yesterday, Chris Hardwick posted this video encouraging folks to post their New to Who stories on Twitter. If you're having trouble keeping up (which by now you should've watched that video, that's the story of the first time you experienced Doctor Who.

I tweeted mine earlier, but I wanted to post a longer one, and you can't stop me.  

Doctor Who was something I didn't even become tangentially aware of until my senior year of high school. Even then it was a weird British show that a friend's dad watched. This was a time when the relaunch had just happened. David Tennant had yet to play the Doctor.  It was still years before we would find out how cool bow-ties were. I never watched it, and I didn't think I was missing a thing.
