Hey all, it’s back to school for me. “But ben! What about work!” you say. Well, i’ll be working, too. Full time. And at school full-time, too. Oh dear! Yeah, well, thanks to the deal I have with Corvus, I can work from home. Whew. It’s gonna be rough, but none of my classes are too terribly crazy.

Anyway, for me birthday (the 18th of August), my good friend hunter, (who, strangely, doesn’t have an account for thelocust.org) has offered to start posting new Revolver columns. The Revolver is a series of posts that Hunter had written to our friend mailing list called appropriately “theList”.
Well, i couldn’t be happier. So, i’ve started to add stuff to the site, like the User Accounts, a User Directory, and soon the ability for users to submit articles to a queue for review by the admin users here. If anyone, ANYONE, ANYONE! has any ideas about what you would like to see on this site, let me know.

Oh, and a word about the focus of this site. Originally, I had set out to make this site like Slashdot or NerdPerfect, and for the most part, it has. However, I knew that most of my friends aren’t too terribly interested what kind of processors Intel will release next or if the new Linux Kernel has been released. However, i do like the way that they are set up, and I haven’t seen any other sites that focus on non-technical stuff.

So! Here is my call to you, gentle reader, to get involved! Make conversation, give us news, drive other people to the site! I REALLY REALLY want to make this site as fun, informative, and user driven as possible.

Thanks
