I am? Well, I should probably get on that…

Anyway, for reasons unclear to me—because I don’t think I’m that interesting or worthy of something like this—but appreciated regardless, Daniel D’Addario wrote a profile on me for The Awl.

So, if you care to, go forth and read it (but try to ignore the negative comments, even though I wasn’t able to do so).

I’m actually completely surprised by the tone of many of the comments. I cannot figure out these reactions. I guess, in part, as has been discussed TO DEATH this week, people really do find it easy (both personally and technologically) to make fun of people on the Internets!

Why are you surprised?  You, of all people, know that many people believe past and current Gawker staffers are part of a club to which they are barred entry.  No matter this piece’s intention, they will read it as an introduction to one of the club’s new members.
