the martini myspace*

So, spurred on by Mike Industries article about tastefully hacking MySpace layouts, I finally set up a MySpace page.

Now, I’ll admit… I’m at that age cusp that I don’t quite get what the big deal about MySpace is just yet. Sure, I see the potential it may have for me. Not only have I located and linked to old friends that I’ve lost touch with (for instance, I didn’t know my old roomate Dave got engaged), but I’ve also connected in some superficial way to people who I want to eventually get some of my projects in front of. I can see how the social networking aspect of it appeals to today’s younger folk as well. I hate saying that… younger folk.

Damn, I’m old. At least in MySpace terms. Oh well, it’s all part of keeping up with the imaginary electronic world in which I make my living.

Regardless… Check my page out if you’d like and become my online friend if you want. OMG!

Incidentally, here’s an article I’m reading at the moment that I’ve enjoyed enough so far to pass on:
