About: Karl Erikson Website: http://secondhandkarl.com/

Profile: Karl Erikson has been blogging since the mid 90's, when the only background color choice you had for a web page was grey, and there were no such things as WYSIWYG editors so you had to hand-code all of your HTML in Notepad, AND walk uphill to school BOTH ways. He blogs personally at SecondHand Tryptophan (his imaginary band name), and professionally at Uptake and Famecrawler. Karl enjoys long walks on the beach, provided there are drinks with teeny umbrellas in them. He also really likes to write about himself in third person.
