The “I Am Not a Robot” Legal Mumbo Jumbo


I’m a person, not a robot, not a secret team writing under one alias, not a committee designed to test you. As such, let me lay this on the line:

this website is
my personal vantage on the world, comprised of thoughts, opinions, first hand accounts, and a good deal of speculation. At risk of sounding like a copyright disclaimer, please know the views expressed here are mine and mine alone, and the writing published here was penned by and belongs to me. I want to believe that I’m making a difference with the words I say, and I’d hate for anything to be taken out of context and misconstrued or passed off as something it isn’t.

this website is not
professional writing. I am not a published writer or a professional journalist, in fact, I’m not even a civilian journalist, and I assure you there’s no team of editors proofreading, fact checking, and ghostwriting anything you see on the site.

That said, I know I can get it wrong sometimes. I’ve been known to change my mind, too. If you find anything erroneous in my posts, just let me know. Email me, direct message me on twitter, message me on youtube, any where you can find me. However you let me know, I would be more than happy to do a little more research, correct the misinformation, or even take down something wildly off-base. If you disagree with what I write, I’m open to a dialogue. That’s the beauty of a blog: contact me, write or film a response, reference my site freely. While I refuse to entertain hatemail for hate’s sake, I am more than willing to give credence to other valid viewpoints. I’m in it for the exploration and the discussion and the expression, not to shout down to the world from my soapbox.

I often reference and link to other people’s material. I do this to spread the joy and share some of the neat stuff I love with the readers of this website. I think the world deserves to discover some of the amazing work people are doing and am often excited to further the word-of-mouth. If you happen to be making any of this content and are uncomfortable with my allusions, think I have violated your rights or privacy, or feel I have taken it too far, let me know. The last thing I want to do is damage the artists and designers, figureheads and companies I admire from doing well, so I’d be happy to remove content or come to an accord that we can both agree on.
