Hey, all. Tim says, since he named me as his contributing editor, that I need to introduce myself to the readers. This, I think, is rather silly: wouldn’t it be more entertaining to create your own impressions based on what I write (not to mention, easier for my slack self)?
For instance, I could be:
- a dirty-footed gamine with nimble fingers and a quick wit
- a twenty-something writer from Virginia who makes good biscuits
- a Yeti
- an operatic diva who can be just plain ornery
Some or any of the above could be true. Take your pick, enjoy what you read, respond frequently, and do your part to keep the Internet in the hands of the everyman. Peace out.
Addendum, January 2002: It’s pretty obvious that I’ve scaled back my contributions to this site. It honestly hasn’t been deliberate. I still intend to write pithy little observations from time to time. I just don’t think it’s going to be an everyday thing or even an every-other-day thing anymore. But this is a killer site, even without my omnipresence, so don’t cry for me, Argentina…
