Hi!

My name is Colin. Welcome to my web site.

This site started with things that people have asked for: Directions to my house, my resume, “So, done anything weird with your hair, lately?”, etc. I’ve started adding pages for things I’m interested in, but that’s still in a fledgeling stage.

This is mostly for friends of mine. I suck at correspondence, so this is a way to keep people up to date on what’s going on in my life, in both the grand scheme of things and the not-so-grand scheme of things.

This is also for acquaintances - those people I see at social events, but haven’t really gotten to know because we don’t know where to start. Well, here’s an ice breaker for you: “So, I was looking at your web site the other day, and saw that you’re into…” I think this also works for me as a filtering mechanism, letting people know when I really don’t have anything in common with them. “So, I was looking at your web site the other day. You’re a complete freak. Stay away from me.”

More and more, this will also be for complete strangers in my communities. I hang out at nightclubs, post in online mailing lists, and live in a neighborhood. In all of these venues, there are people who have no idea who I am. There are people in clubs who don’t talk to me because they have no idea what to say. There are people in discussion lists who don’t know where I’m coming from, or how seriously to take me. There are people in my neighborhood who aren’t sure whether they should be worried about that guy with the weird hair (or lack thereof). I hope that this site will make me a bit less of a stranger, if no less strange.
