Hello to all, and welcome to my little slice of 49erland, Eureka 49ers. Some of you will know me as Ninjames and some of you will know me as James Brady. A lot of you won’t know me at all but I like to think you’ll stick around to my little blog here. First, a little bit of background.

I’ve written on a blogging and beat writer basis for the 49ers off and on for about three years now, most notably my Golden Nuggets posts over at ninersnation.com. I’m not leaving Niners Nation or devoting any less time to it, and in fact, I’m devoting more time now than ever.

I just have my own opinions and agenda, the front page over there only has so much room and we have so many quality writers. I have my own thoughts, my own take on just about everything 49ers-related, and I’d like to post them here. I will keep up to date with 49ers news, my sources of information coming from the beat writers, other blogs, and my own personal two or three guys who are, how you say, “in”.

So add me to your bookmarks, comment on my opinions, head over to Niners Nation and check out my daily links. That being said, here’s to hoping I get some page views here and do well on my own. In my first post I’ll be posting my thoughts and grades on the 49ers draft, unless of course some big news breaks—in which case I’ll be on it, don’t you worry.
