Welcome. You’ve just entered my little corner of the Internet. On some level it’s comforting to know that as this cosmic dirt ball we call earth floats through what we can only determine is a limitless expanse of space, there is something just as perplexing and mind-blowing that we live with everyday. We don’t even have to leave our chair to find it. The Internet. This vast wasteland of information that’s grown from top-secret, highly restricted military communication tool into the worlds leading distribution, disinformation, and rumor mill. Here I am adding to it.

Who is this guy? What’s his deal? What the heck does he want?

Considering you’re still here, I figure these are fair questions that deserve some form of an answer.

My name is Bryan Varner, I don’t want anything from you, I’m just here. This site of mine is an outlet, a billboard, a warehouse, a journal, and a documentary all rolled into one. I don’t have a set topic. I don’t have an emphasis. I don’t even have a real purpose for having it. I do have an excuse. I needed a place to put the programs, sounds, music, videos I’ve made in my free time. I needed a forum that I could plop these creations into so that other people I’m close to could come and check them out if they so desired. I needed a tool to help me distribute my disinformation and rumors! Isn’t that what the Internet is for?

Professionally I work for the man all day writing software that makes things work. I try not to write too much about that, but occasionally something comes along that I’m fairly proud of creating or something so mind blowingly stupid goes on that I need to vent.

Privately I sit in a spare bedroom in my house writing code until I start to fall asleep. I neglect the basic necessities of life until they can no longer be repressed. I’m sleep deprived, malnourished, hyped up on caffeine, and hungry (most of the time). I try to forget this, so I try to keep busy. Idle hands make for an idle mind which makes for a dangerous, dangerous situation. Everyone needs a hobby, or two, or three…

I’m your stereotypical geek. The kind depicted in modern movies that realize geeks aren’t just pocket-protector aficionados with a fetish for horned rim glasses. You know: The single white male in their mid 20′s oftentimes a loner that gets ignored by all the babes in marketing, shunned by the twits in sales, and ridden like a thoroughbred by middle managers with an inflated sense of self-worth and a ridiculous agenda. Yeah, that’s me.

So this site, it’s about the things I do. The ‘art’ I try to create, the youth I’m squandering, and the accomplishments that mean nothing in the end. Welcome to the LooneyBin, my little padded corner of the internet.
