Brad Dickson

Editor, Writer, and Content Producer with a mixed upbringing in the grand ol' Pacific Northwest and New Zealand—of all places. Managing Editor of Cheezburger and long-time contributor to Fail Blog. After studying internet culture and memes while distracted from university lectures, I joined Cheezburger, first running Geek Universe and then Memebase before finally setting on Fail Blog. Other than a keen interest in internet culture I have an interest in and approximate knowledge of many things but have a particular love for nature and the outdoors… which is great for getting outside touching grass after spending most of the week online. I have a near-obsessive appreciation of progressive rock and the melodic and progressive genres of House and Techno, and I produce music when I'm not writing about the internet. My favorite author is, and remains, JRR Tolkien—unoriginally and unapologetically.
