“Life as imitating Bart” is v funny IMO. Nice comment.

It could be saying, “I have an expensive camera and can afford to be quirky too.”

Interesting re the different names and identities .. I use the same name on all online spaces…and most of the spaces I use are similar to eacgh other and are used for the same kind of purpose. I wonder what the most common approach is – to have lots of online identities or many. The popularity of facebook and so on where people use many types of software in one space and one identity might suggest that many people are happy to develop one complex, multi-layered identity …possibly. .

have several online identities that are dispersed across various interactive sites and they are orientated around the discontinuities of identity that I experience as a gay man. An interesting paper that explores this is:
Mowlabocus, S. (2005) 'Being Seen to be Gay: User Profiles and the Construction of Gay Male Identity in Cyberspace' in Simon, G. & Burkitt, K. (eds.) Working Papers in Contemporary History & Politics. Manchester, European Studies Research Institute.

he’s saying, “Hi, i’m quirky, but I have an expensive camera”

To me his expression gives off a ‘you don’t have to be mad to work here look…’

As for my identity, I like to think of it as life imitating Bart
