I have a website because it's an interesting tool, very - and quite unexpectedly - useful for my work. It's become an archive and a fairly complete on-line portfolio, as well as offering an opportunity to write a little.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My website's kind of fun for me. I get to do drawings on that. It's kind of fun.
I spend lots of time on the Web, some of it even useful.
My site has the whole thing - blogs, information, video interviews.
My favourite sites are all about web accessiblity, like Jakob Nielsen's site, but I'm afraid I've got quite utilitarian in my uses of the web. I buy things for friends and family in America on it. I find train times on it. I get a quick short article on a subject from it. I do not surf for fun much.
I built websites for myself. I didn't want to work for anyone else. I came from a science background, so I approached things fairly analytically.
When I set up my Web site, I made a guestbook so kids can write to me there, and that's become one of the most popular parts of the site.
I use computers for email, staying current with my own website as well as finding important information through other websites. I also use it for creating MP3 files of new music I'm working on.
As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much.
I never really enjoyed getting a portfolio together then sending it out; whereas, putting up the website is quite an enjoyable experience. The net's just a much faster and more modern way to distribute things, and you have to embrace it.
I have my website, The Ruckus, which is an Internet site, similar to the Funny or Die format, where people post funny videos. I get a chance to rate their videos; they get a chance to blog and kick it with me.
