The Good-Natured Cynic
Your one-stop shop for rants
and roommate horror stories.
I'm not really angry, just
annoyed.
I started this site because it was a
requirement for my Jouranlism 100 class. I kept it going after
the class was over because a) it will reflect well on me if I can tell
potential employers "for more information, check out my Web site," and
b) I liked having a place where I could vent my spleen on a
semi-consistent basis. The free server space was also a
factor.
This is actually the second version of my
site; the first one was starting to sprawl and get out of
hand, so I condensed a lot of stuff, rearranged a few things, and,
above all, made the fonts consistent from page to page. I have a
bit of a problem when it comes to new word processing programs: I get
so caught up in all the bells and whistles that I forget my original
goals. Now, technically speaking, Composer isn't a word
processor, but for my purposes that's really all it is. I don't
want a site with lots of flashy graphics and animations; I want to
focus on content, to get back to the text-based roots of the
Internet. Besides my senior picture (which I really should
replace with something more recent), there is only one image in this
entire site, and I defy you to find it.*
