About

Greetings, weary user. I’m Karl Benson. I felt that it would be nice to say a few words about the site and myself. This site came about because of my desire to have a meaningful presence on the web again, having been without a domain since 2009. Even then, I had not truly used any domain since 2007 or so, so this would be an exercise in my web design skills, such as they are. In the past I was an extreme supporter of minimalism in web design. Lots of icons? Images everywhere? So many colours that the site would test even the best monitors to show them all? I did not care for that. I have attempted to recapture my original design philosophy; I am still not sure if I succeeded.

As for other details about myself, I love history, linguistics, and religions. I have a passion for medicine and am a certified EMT-Basic. Random facts are awesome and I crave such. I am a gamer, although not one of those horrible Xbox morons. Long live the PS3 and all that. In the gaming world, I tend to be known as Nydgenga, such as Nydgenga Dawnseeker on EVE Online or Nydgenga (a dwarven death knight) on the World of Warcraft server Moon Guard. Some people may also know me as Beornulf or Shealc, a druid and a shaman respectively. Perhaps there are even some people who still know me as Yugure, back during my teens.

If one needs to contact me, there are a variety of methods:
