Uncle Crizzle
Uncle Crizzle (originally Uncle Crizzle's Wide, Wild World of Pop; don't know when the name change happened) is a pop-culture blog I think some of you read. Whatever stuff that's happening in contemporary arts and entertainment that I find either great or goofy, I write a post and somebody out there gets a kick of it.
And now, for the first time ever, where the name "Uncle Crizzle" came from:
For some reason, when I started working here, I kept referring to myself as "Uncle Craig" in e-mails. During a dessert-filled, staff get-together, when somebody gave me one of those stick-on, blank name tags, I wrote "Crizzle." (Fans of "Chappelle's Show" may get the reference.) When N&O interactive came calling about doing a blog, I figured since no one is who they say they are online, why not call myself by another name. And that's when "Uncle Crizzle" was born.

Behold! A Blog Post from Uncle Crizzle
Hello, kids!
Sorry for the lack of blog posts, but as you've probably noticed, we've gone through a few changes (among other things) in the N&O's blogging system. So, until I figure out how to master all of this, I'm gonna lay low around here.
But, if you must know what I'm thinking at any moment, you can always go to my Twitter page. That's right — I've finally succumbed to Twittering. (As I said in my inaugural post, I officially believe every thought I have is worth sharing.)
You can access my Twitter page at twitter.com/unclecrizzle.
And, for those who've been wondering, I'm not gone — yet.
