about
why i blog
i started by reading blogs, and the ones i was reading at the time had this eerie tendency to mention things i had just recently discovered and found interesting. i was inspired by the idea that i could contribute ideas off the top of my head to a place where other people could stumble upon them.
At Webzine 2005 I was videotaped discussing some of my thoughts on blogging.

about me
- i value consistency in all things
- i have a very strong aversion to wearing clothing that exposes my shoulders and upper arms
- i try to never begin a communicative act by apologizing
- civilization as we know it would not be possible if it weren’t for small garbage cans in every room (and shelving. lots and lots of shelving.) and bag clips.
- when my fingernails get too long, i find it difficult to concentrate on anything until i clip them
- i subconsciously refuse to read books people tell me “you should read.”
- i like all the hangers in my bedroom closet to be the same. i don’t want an ugly hanger subtly influencing the shirt i pick to wear in the morning.
- if i drink milk at other peoples houses, i prefer to drink it with ice. the colder the milk, the fresher it seems.
- i like to wash my face at night in order to sleep comfortably.
- i don’t have cable because when i’m watching tv, i have great difficulty focusing on anything else or turning it off. (i also don’t own a tv)
- i am slightly averse to acquiring heavy things, like couches and tvs, that i can’t singlehandedly move on my own.
- irregular noises, like the bass from speakers heard through the walls in my apartment, makes me anxious. i prefer to have control over the noise i hear, and when i’m not listening to music i prefer silence or white noise.
- i am notoriously slow at framing things
