Perhaps the best way to introduce myself is through a story that someone once wrote about me - they probably did a better job of describing my oddities than I could have...

Kevin Kelly stepped slowly into an internet café on the notorious corner of Haight and Ashbury Streets in San Francisco. The area, known for its intellectual discussions, cyberpunks, and hazed futuristic daydreams of twenty-year olds seemed an awkward fit for the 6-foot middle aged man with salt-and-pepper hair and a well-trimmed beard.
He strolled toward the counter and politely asked the clerk for a chi green tea and a fast-speed internet connection for his Mac laptop. Being handed his order, he turned around with his tea and cable and paused. He realized that everyone in the café was watching him; not out of skepticism, but out of recognition, even awe.
The patrons had been intently focused on configuring their zip drives, immersing themselves in new age magazines Wired and the latest Whole Earth Review, or clamoring loudly on their keyboards as they chatted to friends online. Now, while many recognized the innovative thinker immediately and sat dumbfounded, others had to flip to the front of their magazines and re-read the headline “Kelly Strikes Again: Launches First Ever Cyberthon” before realizing that the man wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sandals before them was the Kevin Kelly, saint of the cyberculture and lord of or future society.
After raising a hand briefly in an attempt to say “hey” to his audience, Kelly stepped toward a table, hooked up his laptop, and began work on his next enlightened thought in hopes that everyone would soon return to their activities and stop staring at him.

I hope that this gives you a little perspective of my personality, but if you want more information you should talk to my beloved wife and children, if you dare.
