Comments on: Breaking Up With Web 2.0 http://lowquality.net/2008/breaking-up-with-web-20/ I'm just a guy who's into stuff.

He stared me in the face, ignored me and drew the caricature. He's a jerk. I don't think anything of using my name simply because I originally intended to use this space as a way of promoting myself as a music teacher. For the most part, though, I am less concerned with being found here than I am on myspace. I really don't think I am important enough to be sought out, but I am not so naive that I put just anything up on this blog. There have been some controversial posts I made concerning the college I attended for my IT degree that I have removed or otherwise censored. That has more to do with my personal ethics (that I just discovered I had) and not wanting the blog be associated with bashing my friends' workplace. I don't think my criticism was out of line, but I just don't think I am the right person to say those things anymore. So.. it's not so much that I am concerned with being "found," but I am increasingly more aware of <em>how</em> someone finds me.

There have been some controversial posts I made concerning the college I attended for my IT degree that I have removed or otherwise censored. That has more to do with my personal ethics (that I just discovered I had) and not wanting the blog be associated with bashing my friends’ workplace. I don’t think my criticism was out of line, but I just don’t think I am the right person to say those things anymore.

So.. it’s not so much that I am concerned with being “found,” but I am increasingly more aware of how someone finds me.

It's great. :) And more on-topic, I'm impressed that you use your full name with/on your blog. I'm not there and don't know that I ever will be, and probably not so much for security reasons as for reasons of not being happy enough with/proud enough of my life as it is these days to want [former classmates, former employers, potential/future employers, ex-boyfriend, ex-friends, and whoever else] to be able to find me and "subscribe to my life," as you put it, that way. Anyway, I think it's great that you're comfortable doing that. Off-subject, who did the awesome sketch of you that you use for your flickr profile-pic? It’s great. :)
