So what is this?

This is Halikar’s per­sonal thoughts on any­thing and every­thing. Blog, rant, live jour­nal, diary, all rolled into one. Although some of the con­tent is related to ADHD and attempts to live with it, the arti­cles are likely to be as ecclec­tic as Halikar himself.

Who is Halikar?

Halikar the per­son is a 40+ year old guy liv­ing in Los Ange­les; has a wife, two kids, and two dogs; and is into com­put­ers, com­puter pro­gram­ming, role play­ing, sci­ence fici­ton, Star Trek, sci­ence, his­tory, read­ing, some anime, super­heros, old wooden sail­ing ships, some com­puter games, and some other sundry stuff. He is try­ing to lose weight, find a job, learn to write, design some use­ful com­puter soft­ware, design a fic­tional world, learn sev­eral pieces of com­puter soft­ware, raise his kids and adapt to hav­ing an ADHD-I mind.

Why “Blarg”?

Accord­ing to the Urban Dic­tio­nary, “Blarg is a unique word, being the only word that not only means any­thing you want it to, or is used to show dis­in­ter­est or bore­dom, but also is the only word that thou­sands upon thou­sands of peo­ple have claimed to have made up but has been around since man dis­cov­ered they could use tools.” Since entries here are likely to mean any­thing as well, Blarg seems appropriate.
