About Me

Welcome to Thudfactor. I’m afraid it’s a little… disorganized in here. But that’s what you get with an idea hamster who can’t leave well enough alone, bloggily speaking.

First of all, what’s a “thud factor”? Basically, you take your paper, thesis, novel, or other _et cetera_, raise it high above your head, and drop it on the floor or on a nice wooden desk. The degree to which it goes “whooomp” is its “thud factor.” If it floats out of the window and into the garden crew’s lawn mower, you lose.

I’ve been writing here for over four years, so the thud factor of Thudfactor is starting to be pretty significant. The weighty issues are politics and religion — two things you never discuss in polite company. In those camps, I’m a liberal and pagan.

I was opposed to the war in Iraq in 2002. My argument then was basically “right war, wrong team.” Given the current fiasco: I think my argument has pretty much been validated.

I’ve been a professional web developer and/or designer for ten years. This site often doesn’t demonstrate that, mostly because I can only work on it in corners of time.

My hobby is writing movie reviews. Those have their own site: the Anvil and Sprocket.
