Welcome to Nerdflood!

You’ve unwittingly stumbled upon the website of Nathaniel Payne, and for that, I apologize.

Who am I? I’m nothing more than a simple man, who enjoys the simple pleasures life has to offer. Like cat fishing or asteroid scrubbing. I live in the sheltered land of the midwest, born and raised in a small farming town in the center of Iowa. In case you were wondering, growing up there was less Field of Dreams and more Children of the Corn. But I digress.

I am passionate about my family, writing science fiction, playing video games, and setting up an intergalactic souvenir shop somewhere on the white-hot surface of the sun. That last one might be a bit of a stretch, but I do love a challenge.

The bulk of this site is actually a blog, if you can believe it. You can find wonderfully insightful content there, such as my posts about Hulu, the spelling of the word “grey” (or “gray”), and the Iowa State Fair. The tabs in the menubar above are links to the various blog categories available for perusal and ravenous consumption.

Sometimes I make things up and write them down. There’s a page with examples of my writing. It is of questionable quality.

I like to play video games. There’s a page with links to sites where I either collect gaming info or just prattle on incomprehensibly about video games. This happens more often than I care to admit.
