Today I sat down to write an
About Me
section for my website. I know. It seems like something I
should have done a long time ago. I have to admit I don't like
it. Encapsulate who you are in a few paragraphs? For what
audience? All audiences! I find my interested to be so diverse
that I can bore almost anyone. Forget about SEO. Being a
Renaissance Man means that my life story defies simple
characterization. The story, rather than have an easily
understandable arc, jumps around.
The About Mes on most people's websites have sales purpose:
here I am; here's what I can do; buy me! That didn't really
feel appropriate to me here. My website has always been more
about sharing information. "Quality Musings Since 1998"
The About Me I wrote today reflects that. It's more informative
about who I am, my interests, and the information one can find
on this website.
