As my faithful readers (all zero of you), already know, I started this blog to earn money, or at least to distract myself until finding a real job. In doing so I signed up for Google's AdSense, which means there's a little ad to the right of this post. Whatever you do, don't click on this ad! If you do, it would be because I told you to, or something, and that violates the policies of something or other. It's all fascinating stuff. That last sentence broke my sarcasm detector.
This should be the last "about" post for a while and I'll start with the real posts tonight or tomorrow.

About the Infinite, a.k.a. Why I Chose Such a Silly Name
Welcome friends, strangers, and enemies using this blog to blackmail me!
If you are reading this, that means you have lots of free time. You probably either know me personally or heard about me on the news, due to the incredible fame and wealth I will no doubt soon have. You have an itching, burning, inflamed curiosity, which you should probably see a doctor about. You are smarter than the a-ver-age bear and possibly the a-ver-age human. You wish to give me all of your worldly possessions.
But enough about you. Let's talk about me. I started this blog because of my-- I wanted to-- Because I heard you could make money doing this. I'm going to try to get a post up a day, on topics from toothpicks to television to the twenty-some non "T" letters (How many are there?).
Also, about the name. As you may have guessed from The First Post (which I can't figure out how to link to), it's my name for what you call the Internets/ Interweb/ Blagoblag. I was going to go with another, much worse name, that didn't sound like "Internet" but had the same Big Empty Space connotation, but luckily it was taken. Plus it's the name of a James Cameron movie. No, not that one.
Oh, and feel free to comment. I'm not sure, but I think that's how I get that internet money they're all talking about.

Surfing the Infinite
"SURFING THE INFINITE, PART 1"
WE OPEN ON AN EMPTY STAGE. A LONE MAN STEPS UP TO A PODIUM.
MAN

Welcome everyone. I am glad you could--

The Infinite, a grand celebration of the vast and empty spaces of--

WE CUT TO SHOW MORE OF THE ROOM HE STANDS IN. IT'S A TREMENDOUS WHITE SPACE, SO BIG THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THE FAR EDGE. HUNDREDS OF CHAIRS SURROUND THE STAGE, ALL OF THEM EMPTY. IN FACT, OUR SPEAKER IS THE ONLY ONE AROUND.
MAN
Where is everyone?
