Hey-hey, Imaginary Readers!
Alex AKA Goggles here, & I thought I'd do something of a small breakdown of what's going on 'round these parts. I am but one lil nerdperson, & since I threw up the Nerd Goggles Bloggle a few months ago, I have been considering getting a few friends to post here along with me. Not only to take the content burden off of myself, but also to broaden the focus. As you've no doubt noticed (or haven't!) this blog has up til now been primarily about comic books. This is mostly because I have been deeply ingrained in comics after a year of not reading much. In recent months, however, between the DC New 52 thing, Marvel's Fear Itself event, & my own self-initiated decision to relapse back into reading X-Men books after six years clean, comics have overrun my day to day activities. So yeah, I've been posting a bunch about comics, when I posted at all. I also made the somewhat ill-advised decision to start up a blog thingie during an insanely busy & transitional phase of my non-internet life, which provided some conflict.
BUT NO MATTER. I'm more or less back on track, & think I'll be posting more regularly. Also, I hope to try to meet the goal of this blog a little more & post thoughts on non-comic items from time to time.
To this end, I have recruited some of my friends to hop online & occasionally post things here as well. My friend Will already posted a small intro earlier, & the others might as well. But I also figured it couldn't hurt to have a little bio post to give everyone a teeny chance to get acquainted via all the nerdy & non-nerdy things we love. SO! Without further ado:
The Nerd Goggle Bloggers & some stuff they love!
