Let’s see. I remember a Usenet BBS game was my first online experience. Soon it was updating my index.html file on Geocities while peering through a Netscape browser - the only choice at the time. Having aged alongside the Interwebs (I remember when it was called the Internet or the web) and having been there for the good times and bad I can proudly call myself a diehard webby … or a techtorian.

Realizing the empowerment the Internet gives users at an early age I was often the go to person for quick tech fixes in the brick & mortar world. For that, I feel like I own a piece of these networks, wires and routers that string us all together. Quite frankly I evoke emotion all the time reacting to what I experience online.

I thrived in my early teens on webforums and would always keep my eyes on my post record, so not to miss giving my 1000 post shout out to all the other active users. In college the web became much more than a tool for entertainment as the user driven Web 2.0 allowed for a deeper look at the world under the microscope - the Internet became the forum.

Having the information at the ready for years, my web capability is refined to where my opinion is right on with the consensus, if not light years ahead.

Today I like to leave a little piece of me all over the web. Primarily you can observe my activity on Digg and StumbleUpon, but don’t be surprised if you see my silhouette on your blog or forum, posting a crafty remark or perhaps something snarky that I would regret if I ever remember leaving it. My activity online is a reflection of my personality. My successful tangible business offline would not be what it is without that personality.
