interview at digital web magazine good May 2001 :
Glassdog is and was my Web playground, a place where I could experiment and investigate the workings of the Web, what people like, how to do things, what to write about, and how to organize it all.
It's been around a fairly long time in Web years and it's certainly far less active now than it has been... In the past, which for our purposes I'll limit to the last five years that I've been actively online, I've written and designed for many other collaborative, non-commercial web sites such as the fray and SMUG. Most of my writing has been in the form of personal narrative, but I'm hoping to change that.
-You have fonts named after you, and thousands of sites linking into your site. Do you consider yourself a Web celebrity?-
...anything written on the Web I tend to discount because the Web is so temporary and momentary... Derek Powazek, John Styn and Jason Kottke among them and, lately, Matt Haughey and Joshua Davis, have a sort of adoration about them whether they like it or not. John likes it, clearly, and fosters it. Jason is mystified and bemused by it all. Derek never believed it until a trip to Italy convinced him he was a star, or as close to a star as one gets in this existence. Josh told me he had people crying when they met him once.
-What's this obsession with world domination? How do you plan on going about achieving this goal?-
Osmosis. It'll just happen. It's bound to, isn't it? If I just keep on going?
Microsoft started their "Where do you want to go today?" campaign. I thought that was the most hilarious thing. Microsoft, the great Satan, the company that's all about devouring and killing new companies to limit my choices and force me to do what I don't want to is asking me where I want to go today, knowing full well that they don't want me to tell them, they want to tell me.
So I added the "World Domination Now. Is that so wrong?" tag line to the site and Glassdog world domination now comes and goes as a common theme. I fully expect that everyone will come around to my way of thinking and there will be Glassdog home appliances and Glassdog clothing and Glassdog edition Ford Explorers some day. We're the Hello Kitty of the new millennium!
-Where do you think independent content on the Web will be in five years from now?-
In five years new people will come along, old people will be gone and I'll still be here saying this again because I believe in the Web and I like it here.
