Greetings from the edge.
Testing… 1…2…3…
Is this thing on?
Well, I suppose it beats the traditional first blog post of “Hello World.”
Please don’t scroll away just yet. There are going to be some really cool things here. Lists, articles, reviews, and hot singles near you.
Well… maybe not the singles.
Rambles & Whimsy is my little slice of the internet. I’ve wanted to write since I first learned to read, but for various reasons I never really did anything about it… until now. I bought this domain, appropriately enough, on a whim. The idea is simple: this is a place where I can post my writing and slowly build an online portfolio.
This is me, by the way:

Just your standard forty-something bloke attempting to pivot from being a rabid bibliophile to actually making money with his wit and keyboard.
The blog itself will act partly as a journal and partly as writing practice. Expect unfiltered thoughts on books, TV, the occasional decades-late hot take on something everyone else finished years ago, and updates on whatever project I’m currently wrestling with.
The plan is to update Rambles & Whimsy, the horror-themed Chop Shop, or my geeky basement Crying is a Free Action roughly every two weeks, with a fresh blog post appearing here once a week.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a look around and let me know what you think.
See you in the margins,
RBD
