Letters to Jeremy is a blog written by Brandon Melendez about politics, pop culture, bullshit (most of which can simply be encompassed by the word "politics"). Each entry is a letter to Melendez's son Jeremy and is a record of Jeremy's development in relation to the local and world events of the time.

Nerd's Eye View is a blog written by Brandon Melendez that explores the realms of nerdy things. These things vary from Saturday Morning Cartoons and Comic Book Continuity to Video Game history or Time Travel in general. The blog recently added "Nerd's Eye Images" which are photophopped gags--because a picture is worth 1000 snarks! Nerd's Eye View has a tone that is both humerous and informed and at times snarky. It is integrated with relevant media as much as possible and will be enjoyed by both nerds and non-nerds alike.

Ten Years Gone: Pomp and Circumstance is the first book of a semi-autobiographical trilogy that is featured on Eat Your Serial.com. The Pomp and Circumstance installment occurs over three years following the protagonist, Brandon, through the majority of his high school career. Pomp and Circumstance deals with feelings of isolation, acceptance, teenage angst, first love, and general nerdy awkwardness. It is packed up the wazoo (that's right, up the wazoo folks) with pop-culture and nerd culture references and is as dramatic as it is humorous.
Teamed with New York artist, Benjamin Silberstein to provide illustrations for the project.
Silberstein has studied art extensively in the New York City area and is known for his amazing black and white ink work as well as his mural and painting work. He can be contacted for contracted work at Bsilbers@gmail.com.
