(Leading off with a parenthetical statement: Some of you will take note of the many blue words, or red if you've already clicked one, on this page that say "blog." These are internal links to my blog. I set such a high quantity of them because I want you to click the blue words and go read my blog... and post enlightening, funny, entertaining, meaningful comments).
Elsewise, most of you are thinking one of two things... I agree with both. Either you think this site is cool or you're mumbling quietly this placid tune… "What? Seth has a website? Oh my gosh! And he put it on sethellsworth.com! How vain!" The truth is, yeah it is a little bit vain. Hence, the placid tune. Legitfully, only people that have a good reason for their own dot com have their own dot com. Where does that put me? Reasonless. Suffice it to say, this Seth Ellsworth has his own dot com for deeper and more meaningful reasons, e.g. fun. With "fun" in mind, this folksy site is the formulation and fruition of my fortuitous facility to welcome you to a fragment of virtual real estate fashioned with my own first and last name. So, with delight, I take advantage of this occasion—consider yourselves welcomed… luke-warmly. I hope you feel at home here… whatever that means virtually... as if there's so much to do here besides read my blog.
Because reading my blog is the only thing to do up in here, I made reading my blog painless by letting y'all sign up to have my blog stuff sent directly to y'alls email. To have that special cyber privilege enter your stuff below. If you're gun shy about spoutin' off your email address, there's another option. RSS (Real Simple Syndication). If you don't know what RSS is, go find out here and get with the program. RSS is your ticket to ride the information highway with luxurious convenience...Since the 21st century is all about convenience. You can read dozens of your favorite blogs from one simple interface, an RSS reader. I use Google Reader. If you already know what to do with an RSS feed then you can hook that up right here.
So, back to the subject of vanity. Vain huh? Yeah. I choose to look at it this way: Some day I will have a great use for this domain. That day may not be soon, but it may be very soon. Why not plan for the future? And besides, I had to negotiate the purchase of this domain from one of those annoying domain mongers that fill the net with worthless parked virtual real estate just for the chance that someone, like me, will some day need a dot com and will be willing to pay more than $7.95 for it (e.g, thousands of dollars). Peevish punks! So why not actually use the domain to host a simple, supercilious yet humble website? Harmless right? Right.
Another matter, please offer your special attention toward the header of this page and take particular notice of the "(beta)" representation. In this case, the beta-ness signifies that this site is mastered by a complete novice who is himself a work in progress. I ain't been learnt any of the good web skills jus yet so I best git goin'. (I am still very much "self-taught" in the ways of the web).
Obviously, the portion of this site with the most poise and purpose is the blog. I enjoy writing and plan to make a concerted effort to enjoy it on a regular basis. It's been suggested to me that there's a remote probability others would enjoy reading what I write.. and if they don't enjoy what I write then perhaps they'll enjoy how it's written.. If the don't enjoy what or how, well, then why are you reading this? No matter. As Walt Whitman put it, "I exist as I am, that is enough, if no other in the world be aware, I sit content, and if each and all be aware, I sit content." Be it as it may, I write, or will write, for the enjoyment of it. You're welcome to enjoy as you may. (It may sound like I don't care if you read my junk. I do. Writers do appreciate readers. So, be a reader and let the writer know that you are reading by posting comments and stuff on posts that you read).
WARNING: This site, mainly the blog, is not "niche." Expect randomness and at times poor grammar. There are a few things I know well and write about often (usually for other people who put their name on my stuff and drop me a bone or two), i.e. persuasion, influence, motivation, leadership, real estate, and other busines interests. Expect some current events, fun topics, and musings. In addition, this site is a sorely needed vent of creativity and critical thinking so expect nothing less. And yes, I have deep thoughts, sometimes..
