Hi. Glad you could make it. I, Nathan Tuggy, am about to introduce you to Tugopedia.
Tugopedia isn’t crowd-sourced, like Wikipedia, or politically correct-sourced, like CNN, or scholar-sourced, like Encyclopedia Britannica. No, Tugopedia is weird-sourced. That is, I’ll spill my rants onto the screen, find some pretext for saying it, and cobble something together. Usually, it will even make sense. Sometimes, you’ll agree with me. Once in a while, my family will still be speaking to me after they read my posts (you know who you are). It’s pronounced Tug-o-pedia, incidentally, because that is, roughly speaking and in some fashion, how you pronounce my name (aren’t you glad you asked?)
I plan to write about whatever I like, whenever I’m ready, and however long I can. Which may mean twenty-three pages every time, like Steve Yegge (bad word alert!) or twenty-three words, like James Robertson, I’m not sure yet. You’ll see, and so will I, and that will be time enough.
Meanwhile, so as not to keep anyone waiting, let’s dive into the first post, shall we?
Oh yes, and one more warning. My writing style is somewhat like that of the Apostle Paul’s: long sentences with lots of commas and (frequently) little parenthetical interludes that are actually rather crucial to the discussion (for example, because I elaborate on some point or other that needs more thought, and without the discussion in the parentheses, no one would know what I meant — even with these discussions, it’s frequently hard, so be warned); what’s more, my sentences can sometimes get weighed down and difficult to plod through, if I’m not careful, like this one, and which is, again, like the Apostle.
Sorry. I just had to give you a whiff. Have fun, and have a nice day!
