its easy to forget how much of yourself you reveal in a web site until a co-worker retells one of your old stories or a friend forwards you an email like this from some guy in california:

i am hoping you can help me locate the blog for a guy who claimed to be one of your long-time judges but who didn’t participate this year… i came across his site randomly but didn’t bookmark it because i got distracted when i linked to the everyman contest pics, which i did bookmark, therefore i have no other link to contacting him – you’re my only hope, obi-wan…

i want to ask him if he will let me use (or buy?) the layout stuff from his site because i want to set up my own (first time) and well, he’s the man… just look at his site… all right, thanks in advance
