FAQ's (about me)

Is "Genghis" your real name?
-Yes, it has been all of my adult life.

Where do you live?
-In a dumpy apartment in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Family or roommates?
-Nope. Just a cat. Never married, no kids, though I may have made big mistakes, blah, blah, blah, et cetera, et cetera. I can only hope that I've done the right things for all concerned; I really do so hope.

What do you do for a living?
-I paint interiors in nice homes for private customers. I don't do specialty finishes, exteriors, or subcontract or commercial jobs. I'm currently breaking into creating websites; that's a good part of what this website is about: demonstrating that I can create a website that informs and that works right.

What else do you do?
-For most of the past ten years, I was in school part-time getting a bachelor's degree with an accidental concentration in history. I like reading history, the record of how humankind came to such a bizarre place in the cosmos. Also, I've been quite passionate about fishing, although this past year that passion seems to have ebbed. For the past four years, I've spent a lot of time becoming adept at HTML, which is the simple "mark-up language" used to create webpages, and picking up little Javascript and other effects to go along with the HTML. Occasionally I follow the Red Sox, but I do that only during summers when I'm not feeling particularly passionate about something. At the moment, I am feeling some passion for learning the art, in contradistinction to the technique, of writing useful websites. I am certain that the internet is one of those hiccups in history, like gunpowder or printing or steam engines, that change radically the course of humankind.

Really now, why do you have a personal website?
-Well, that is indeed a whole ball of wax, isn't it? To distill that ball of wax and to be succinct: Why not!
