My name is Ash but you may call me Ashmael. This is my little part of the Internet where I like to share things I see, read, hear or watch with whoever cares to see, read or listen. Most of it tends to be geeky with a heafty dose of everything else. My posts tend to be PG-13 or so with an occasional R rated something, but I try to keep it SFW. The archive however my have items that are NSFW, just as a let-you-know.
