About Me
- Strawberryyog
- This blog is semi-anonymous. That is, I don't positively identify myself (other than claiming occasionally to be Vogel von Neustadt) and neither will you, please, thanks awfully. It would not exactly be Rocket Science Meets Sherlock Holmes to work out who I am, if you didn't already know. But given the alarming stories you read about people's blogs being held against them in the employment market (whatever that might be) I'd rather not go out of my way to associate my Real World Name Thing™ with this, so that I am not all that easily Googleable here. Does that make sense to you? I am not even sure it does to me, but hey. If you think you know me then you are probably right, and please do feel free to say hello in a comment, but please don't use my (non-Vogel) name - fair enough?
