After four weeks on the road, I’m back at home and reunited with everyone’s favorite beagle<\/a> (who I’m happy to report is mostly symptom free and doing well). The Oregon Trail was fun and informative, and I managed to get pretty much everything I needed for the documentaries. <\/p>\n

Driving long stretches of open road in states like Nebraska and BFE gives a person a lot of time for reflection, and now that I’m home and ready to get back to the grind, there’s going to be some changes. Moving forward, Chaos Factory will be more focused on writing and story-telling. There still will be the occasional post about the environment or dinosaurs (always dinosaurs), but for the most part we’re going to stick with my greatest preoccupation. <\/p>\n

That means more live blogs on the travesty that is Peter Jackson, more dissections of what’s wrong with the latest Christopher Nolan movie, and plenty of book, movie, and television reviews. Everything will come from the angle of what’s wrong with the story in question, and how could it have been better, with the aim of making us more compelling storytellers. <\/p>\n

Basically, I’m tired of all the crap that I’m consuming, and I mean to do something about it, one snarky review at a time.<\/p>\n

But lest you’re worried the Chaos Factory won’t be chaotic enough, here’s a picture of the kids from Family Ties and some muppets:<\/p>\n
