– Ian Tregillis describes his new novel, “Something More Than Night”, that will come out after the conclusion of his Milkweed series. Sounds phenomenal.

– Scott Kurtz may be a jerk from time to time, but he’s a very SMART jerk. And as far as this particular situation is concerned, he’s absolutely right. PvPonline » Archive » Reality Check

Esmerelda by T-Bird and the Breaks →
This song just popped up on my Pandora trombone jazz station and I was extremely happy it did. Good, funky mood enhancer.

"The Endermen", a Minecraft poem
Lest anyone think that this is nothing more than an art blog, for my week five creative project, I’m submitting this little poem, based on the 1.8 update to Minecraft, which introduced us all to the terrifying Endermen. I had started writing it then, while on a plane on one of the many overseas business trips I took in 2011. Since I’ve hardly been able to squeeze in any drawing time...

Things for 2012 That Sound Suspiciously Like...
NOT resolutions. Really. They’re numbered, but they’re not necessarily in any particular order, so I guess I could have just not numbered them, but then it would have been harder for me to figure out how many I had written. Onward and upward. 1. One new creative project every week, either artwork of some sort(illustration, sketch, painting, sculpting, etc.) or writing. No websites...

New illustrations →
A perfect storm of new art supplies for Christmas combined with an extended vacation over the holiday has meant that I’ve completed a few new illustrations. I hope to keep up drawing at least one new illustration every week for 2012. I attempted something similar to this last year, but then got bogged down trying to create an entire website in a week, which was certainly a foolhardy...

"There is no ROI when you're breaking a frontier."
And in one simple sentence, the amazing Neil Degrasse Tyson crashes all my hopes and dreams of a future where privatized space-travel takes over for NASA in exploring the vast unknown reaches of space. Neil Degrasse Tyson on the Nerdist podcast

The new site redesign is (mostly) LIVE!
Today I posted the new and improved NathanielPayne.com website. My new central hub of anything and everything within the world of ME. I’ll be retiring Nerdflood, a site that has served me well in the past, and still has quite a bit of juice left within its hollow bones. Potentially, I’ll be shifting the URL to point to my Tumblr site. Sharing interesting nerdy-esque things on the...

Welcome!
This is the very first post on the brand new Nathaniel Payne blog! Eventually this Tumblr blog will reside at blog.nathanielpayne.com and will be embedded within the front page of my new website. I am acutely aware of how horrifically interesting that is to every zero of my current readers.
