Welcome to the Nuke Free Zone.

This multi-author weblog has been running nearly continuously since August of 2003. It takes its name from a humorous nickname for Berkeley, California, where katster, the founder of this blog, was a student at the University of California, Berkeley. Since she wasn’t sure she could keep a blog up, she asked a few friends to help contribute, and the results are the blog you’re currently reading. We started out on Movable Type 2.6, and kept it running for three years, but a number of factors (mostly spam and an inability to continue up the MT upgrade path), we have recently switched to Wordpress.

Things are usually pretty free-wheeling around here, and we love comments, unless you’re a spambot. So even if you’re a foaming-at-the-mouth right-wing Bush-lover who thinks we all need Jesus in our lives to be happy and fullfilled, c’mon in, but be forewarned, we’re a bunch of (gasp) liberals and will probably engage you in debate. If you’re like George Clooney, and don’t understand how ‘liberal’ came to be as dirty a word as ‘nazi’, you’ll probably fit in fine. And if you’re a moderate, that’s all cool too. Get an account and join in. Just be respectful, and it’ll all work out.

Obviously, your hosts reserve the right to fold, spindle, mutilate, disemvowel, or otherwise delete your comments, but we don’t do that sort of thing without due cause.

Your administrator is katster. The design is mostly done by the Fourth Man. Your authors are the two named previously, plus William, Zibblsnrt, and Warrior Tang (who would like to note the name is an old gaming nickname). Your authors emeritus are Calculus and JesseLMan. Guest posts are welcome, please contact the administrator.

Any other questions, contact the Administrator at admin at nukefreezone dot net.

Enjoy your stay!
