Fame
Life, Website June 21st, 2005 |Last night when I went down to check my snail mail, another of the residents in my apartment building was checking his. I was heading back to the elevator when he spoke up. “Hey — aren’t you Eclecticism?”
Turns out he’d stumbled across my site a while ago looking for pictures of the Jensonia Hotel fire, and has stopped by from time to time (recently enough to have seen some of the Fremont Parade pictures), and recognized me from my photos and my kilt.
Pretty fun, actually. So far, that makes the second time someone in the “real world” has recognized me from my site (the first being one of the regulars at the Vogue). I’m famous! 
“Hallucinating Pluto” by B-52’s, The from the album Hallucinating Pluto (1998, 4:19).

“Fame” is definitely a funny thing. Earlier today, a tour came through ARRL headquarters. I was introduced to someone who exclaimed “oh, I know who you are! You and your wife have such lovely pictures on your web site!”
I wouldn’t consider myself famous, but I’m always surprised how many people seem familiar with something on our web site.

A few years back I was working in a downtown computer store when one of my customers walked up and whispered “Aren’t you Nitallica?”
Years ago I had run a newsletter, and it turned out that he was one of my readers and recognized me from photos on one of my websites … it freaked me out at first, LOL!

OK, I’ll concede famous. Now work on RICH, so you can support your parents in their old age.
