Ray Caster is a regular guy who drew the short stick on life. He works in a miserable office doing a miserable job. He gets no respect from his co-workers. For that matter, he gets no respect from his friends. Caster's existence is one pathetic downward spiral of TiVo and fast food until the day his life is turned upside-down by a goddess from an auto parts store.
With its snappy, conversational writing style, Caster's Blog captures the comedy and tragedy of geek life from a first-hand perspective.

"Geek Tragedy"
Marcus Alexander Hart uses his keen sense of geekery and pop culture that we so adored at Misinformer.com to good effect in Caster's Blog.
Hart manages to juggle the competing demand of a clear consistent narrative with the seemingly random and trivial nature of typical blog entries to craft a believable, surprising and compelling story while at the same time maintaining the appearance of an unscripted internet diary. He also had to contend with the uncontrolled input of his readers, in effect, collaborating with the whole of the internet community.
All in all a tall order.
Hart's demonstrates his skill as a writer, and his knowledge of the classic of English literature, Japanese Haiku, and '80's sit coms in this very entertaining volume.
