Welcome!

Welcome to The Nexus of Misc ('cause it's shorter and "miscellanea" is an easy word to misspell), a blog comprised of hodgepodge entries on a multiplicity of topics representing the myriad interests of your humble author. These include, but are no means limited to:

- Writing (creative, legal, academic . . . even a bit of grammar and usage, once in a while)

- Anime & Manga (and all the fan-based activities--fan fiction, fan art, doujinshi, user-generated content, etc.--that go with them)

- Law (especially the intersection of copyright and fan-based activities)

- Philosophy (with a smattering of Platonic, Aristotelian, and Kantian thoughts)

- Technology (computers and all the other devices that make the 21st such a wonderful century in which to live)

- Gaming (computer and video; old-school like chess and Go; card flopping like Magic: the Gathering and the Battletech CCG)

- Books (especially science fiction and fantasy)

- Writing Implements & Paraphernalia (Pens--especially fountain--and papers of all sizes, stocks, and bindings)

- Keyboards (because there's so much more to the world than the sad membrane keyboards that most people type on)

- Watches (especially mechanical, and sometimes to include those of the pocket variety)
