Sporadically Asked Questions
How often do you update?
New material should appear on American Nerd every week, usually on Mondays.
Once every two months, we plan on taking a week off, in a preemptive move to
keep us from burning out and developing hives. We’re sure you understand.
You’re still getting 46 issues a year. That’s not bad.
Why don’t you have an RSS feed?
We don’t really have anything against RSS feeds, but right now all of our energy is going into
making sure the written content is as good as it can be. Maybe later.
I’m interested in advertising on American Nerd.
We’re interested in having you. Shoot us an
email and we’ll talk.
Advertising? You fucking Capitalist pigs!
Come on. We feel you, sort of, and agree that there’s a lot to be said for the purity
of a purely amateur ad-free web magazine. But, on the other hand, we’d really like to
be able to start paying our writers as soon as we possibly can. And for this to happen,
we need money. That means either the lottery or advertising, and our math backgrounds make
the lottery look pretty bad.
How about more images?
We’re working on it. Small steps.
Why do Minneapolis and St. Paul get mentioned so frequently?
Well, most of us live here. But we also have contributors in Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Washington, and Alabama,
and we think of ourselves as more or less national.
So who is the one true Green Lantern?
We’re inclined to go with Guy Gardner. Kyle and Hal each have their points, but Guy’s bowl cut rules.
We may be addressing this question in greater depth before too long.
Holy shit! Where'd all this CSS come from?
That was the work of Mr. Ben Lang of
Lukewarm
Productions; We made a few changes to his design, and any imperfections
you see are our fault, not his.
