Yikerz

Many civilians aren't aware of the crucial role bloggers play in our national security. Living in near-total social isolation allows us to monitor current trends, anticipate threats, and develop counter-measures. I've taken this task seriously, but the V miniseries has really injected a sense of urgency into the project. Friends, followers, buddies, fans: It's time to build the Asymmetric underground network. .

If something does go down on December 9, 2012 or there's an EMP/Red Dawn/V scenario, free people are going to want to get together; for comfort at first, then to survive, form some kind of makeshift governing authority, and strike back, if necessary. Totalitarian despots and brutal warlords would never expect their fatal enemy to organize on Facebook.

We'd slipstream into whatever nightmare society awaits us, ready to mobilize at a single tweet ("the birdie has landed").

What say you? Will you join me?

No? Don't see the need? Shiny magnets.

OK, great!

How will it work?

My friend Adam invented the very fun game Yikerz! (reviewed here), and he's generously agreed to donate three Yikerz! games to give away to people who sign up on my blog. I also have bunches of books, bumper stickers, and Cds (don't expect my Michael Bolton SACD- there's a limit to my generosity) that I can give away.

All you have to do to be eligible is connect with me on one of my social thingies. Each one is a chance to win, so if you sign up on Twitter and Facebook, you have two entries.

Then, let me know by commenting on this post. That's it! The stuff is below.

You can sign up on my blog software, here.

Google Friend Connect, Twitter, my personal Facebook, and the Asymmetric Facebook Page are right below. These are the ones I'm kind of trying to grow, as they're related to the blog. Below that is a bunch of social stuff that I've joined in the past three years. You're more than welcome to join those as well.

I'm running this until the end of January. Thanks, and good luck.

Oh, and if you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Google Friend Connect link might not work. Just use the one at the bottom of the right sidebar.
