Tales from the back end

Presenting oneself in a short and descriptive way is always a challenge. The easy approach is to be simply factual at the risk of being boring and maybe even egotistical. Another possibility is to attempt a second-degree or even farcical presentation, which may fall flat if your public does not share your sense of humour. You can also be most humble and present yourself as just a minor actor on the scene of the world daring to utter a few comments which you hope will be interesting to at least a few people.

Then again you can philosophize about this whole biography business and suddenly realize that you have run out of space.
