F.A.Q.

The questions I am most frequently asked since starting this blog are:

• I want to have your child. Can I can I can I?
• I want to name my firstborn son after you. Do I have to pay a licensing fee?
• What's with the waveform on top of your page?

Actually, nobody has asked that third one yet, but that's the question I'm going to answer.

When I started this blog, I put a nontrivial amount of thought into how things should look and 'feel.' The mood I was trying to convey is that which comes to my mind whenever I hear Elliot Goldenthal's Batman fanfare.

"But Zachary, Blogger allows you to embed audio on your blog. You could've had that music play whenever someone visited your blog."

No. I could not bring myself to do that, for two reasons:

1. This isn't Myspace.
2. This isn't the 1990s.

So since I couldn't play the music audibly, the next best thing was to display the music visually. Now you know.

To listen to the music I'm describing, go here.

To see a low-resolution video of the music in its original context (the opening titles and scene in Batman Forever), go here.

To see the first thing I thought of when I italicized the words 'play' and 'display,' go here.
