Infrequently asked questions
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: It's not like I don't have anything better or more pressing to do, certainly. But it's available, it's relatively cheap and on the off chance that somebody might find it amusing, I decided to give it a shot. Basically, this site is a cheap knockoff of a really good repository of writing created by a guy I've known since he was a very tiny mini-human. He does it way better than I do. This saves me having to annoy him with constant e-mails reacting to the great stuff he's posted. Now I have my own outlet.

Q: Who are you?
A: I'm just a guy. Grew up in Missouri, in a place that was neither a big city nor a small town -- Anytown, USA. Early 30s. Wife, three kids, house in a far-flung suburb of a large Texas metropolitan area.

Q: What do you do in real life?
A: By training, I'm a journalist. Once I was a sports writer. Now I'm in charge of news page design at a large metropolitan newspaper. It's a pretty long leap from one to the other, but the other pays better.

Q: If you call yourself a "designer," why is your web page so friggin' ugly?
A: Hey, I'm new at this. As it turns out, this is how I'm going to learn HTML. This is just a template. It'll get better. I hope.

Q: If you call yourself a "writer," why is this crap so boring?
A: It could be that I'm just not that interesting. It could be that I have no skill. It could be that your standards are too high. Give it some time, ok?
