Media as Communication: Gravity Falls

So, I started writing a post about axioms of knowledge and the correct way to view disagreements and opposing viewpoints on life.  But... instead I did some programming and watched Gravity Falls, which is quickly becoming a major time sink for me.  So guess what I'm actually going to be talking about tonight?

Sharing Ideas isn't Free

As part of the class assignment that I maintain this blog, I'm required to write an About Me post; and for the longest time I've been putting it off both because I wasn't sure how interesting it would be to people and because I wasn't completely sure I saw the point in it.

However, I do need to write it at some point, so that might as well be now.  In the interest of staying somewhat on topic, I'd like to try and explain why I maintain so many blogs and just what I hope to accomplish when I talk about esoteric topics like this.  I do want to maintain a focus on communication itself and what my perspective is on it, but this will be a bit more introspective than I usually write, so if you've somehow managed to build this view of me as some emotionless bastion of rationality, sorry in advance.
