About

idiocratic.net is my personal photoblog. I intermittently post photos I've taken around school, or around the world. It's a way to stay sane as I make my way through medical school in Canada. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Q: What is 'Idiocratic'?
A: It's one of those not real words that should really be words. Like when you realize you really wish a noun had an adjective form.

Q: But 'idiocrat' isn't a real noun.
A: Tell that to all the idiocrats out there.

Q: Where did you get this crazy word?
A: Aha! Wouldn't you like to know! Five tons of flax!

Q: But what does it mean?
A: The million dollar question. What do you think it means? Send me your definition, and I'll put it on this page! tyler [at] idiocratic.net

Q: Who are you?
A: My name's Tyler. I'm a medical student, half-assed photographer, and a bit of a sarcastic miser. Who are you?
