 Dig that crazy layout! This was
incarnation #2 of 11111001111, when I was trying to me more like kottke, with the minimalism and crap
like that.Many years ago, like, two, I was interviewed by
A∴
B∴, at that time a new writer for The Forum, for an article on
locally-created personal websites. Earlier that year I had been
interviewed for an article on the Receipt Site, so I couldn't pass up
another opportunity to get my webwork in the Forum.Since I've had
A∴ on my
mind for a couple
weeks now, and since my media presence has been waning of late, I dug
this out of my Big Bag 'o Media Exposure and scanned it for all to
see.Here's what she had to say about 11111001111, and my personal website: | Don't Be
ShySome people are concerned about privacy on the Internet.
Not Derek Dahlsad, who publishes Derek's Web
Page(dahlsad.freeservers.com/derek).The Web is the Fargo man's channel:
He keeps a "brain log" of random thoughts, lists the contents of his CD
player and writes essays like "Meditation" or "Nobody Escapes Fargo."
But he also lets those who visit the site see him, thanks to uploaded
snapshots and a web camera in his room... |
Okay, so it's not that great of an article (it's in
dire need of an editor's hand), but it's got me in it! Hooray! My brother calls me a
media whore, and I'm proud of it.You may wonder - hey - where'd
the webcam go? It was too much of a pain in the butt, so I got rid of
it. Sorry, folks.Finally, I can already hear the m utterings:
"man, Derek was harsh on A∴ in his original
commentary on this article - she must be pissed!" Well, dear
fellows, she's not that bad of a writer, and I followed
up with a positive review of her writing in December of that same
year. She's less a reporter, more of an author, so she struggles with
some stories while succeeding at others.
No comments at this time.
