Unlike so many others, I started messing with computers because I had a fascination with how computers do what they do (rather than with making them do cool stuff). I am so much of an introvert that I have avoided trying to get this and my other sites (Readings in Analytic Philosophy, Extracurriculars, my comcast home page) advertisement. Steve Pavlina has some good words about moving out of extreme introvertedness <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/09/how-to-go-from-introvert-to-extrovert/">here</a>. One heuristic he had that appealed especially to my philosophical side was imaging how I would act if it were the case that there weren&#8217;t real people reading my sites. So, all of this is to say that I am really going to make an honest attempt to network and build my online relationships.</p> Mon, 13 Feb 2006 12:21:00 -0600 urn:uuid:30b2e077-f0d4-41e0-837f-2e072b233565 closetmaster http://www.jessirae.com/blog/articles/2006/02/13/surely-not technology http://www.jessirae.com/blog/articles/trackback/31
