Call Me Lame-o:

Ok this is really lame, especially since I haven’t posted in a few days and I didn’t do "Shards" on Sunday. But facing yet another deadline on my book, it’s all I have time for. So…

Following SloLane and Lucia’s lead, please introduce yourself. Who are you? What brings you here? And how long have you been reading?

That orange Feedburner thing to the right has proven to be yet another web doodad to obsess over. How many readers does my feed have? Who loves me? Will Billy Callaway ask me to the Harvest Ball?

So I’m getting a reality check. Comment away…

  1. I’m JCRogers or Buddy13 depending on who you ask (or what mood I’m in). I’m an amateur web developer, writer, photographer, and whatever else…
    I came here from another blog, though I don’t remember which. Possibly Zeldman or some such.
    I’ve been reading for only a couple days, since I had to reinstall firefox and get my RSS feeds back, and somehow yours got added, too.

  3. My name’s Scott Andrew. I write songs and work at a really, really large online retailer.
    I’ve been reading your site ever since we shared a Hoovers limo ride to the Austin convo center. Ah, remember 2000? Human Code? Scient? Bill Clinton? Ben Brown? Eh, nevermind.

  5. Kev, thanks for the link. Even though it doesn’t actually link to my site, but rather to feedburner. Freudian link slip?
    I’ve been reading your blog on and off since I met you through Jane. And every time you post, now that I use bloglines.
    Ah, bloglines. I actually wrote them a love letter a month or two ago. I told them if they ever close down their site, they need to open methadone bloglines clinics. I got a stock computer-generated response from them, which made me feel even more strongly about the methadone.

  7. Fixed Lucia. Thanks!

  9. My name is also Kevin. I come here because I have a big man crush on you. Oh wait, that’s not it… because you’re Kevin Smokler. That’s why. Yeah.

  11. I’m Justin, friend of Kevin and his college roommate. I’m mostly here to cause trouble in the comments section since I don’t have a site of my own. I promote and fundraise for an independent school in Chicago, and will help organize Kevin’s reading when he manages to drag his famous butt over here for the book tour.
    Kev’s last post was a shameful attempt to be like the cool bloggers, but I won’t hold that against him.

  13. My name is Wendy, and one day about four or five months ago a voice in my head commanded me to visit your site. I haven’t been the same since.

  19. Hi, my name is Christine. I first met you at SXSW 2002. Bill Clinton was still president, and Ben Brown was there. Ever since, I’ve been trying to come here often to bring more culture into my life. I always seem to find cool things through you.
    I have to add that I also come here because you have such a fabulous, warm personality, and you seem to be a part of all of my fabulous SXSW memories. If and when I make it out West, you’re on the top of the list of people I must visit. I think your book tour should come through Houston, but I’m biased…
