Around 2003 I’d inadvertently started a blog. It took a week to decide on a good name, one worthy of my good name. Then I realized rather suddenly that my name itself was the best stamp of my character, and surprisingly GeorgeKovats.com had not already been taken yet. Take that George Kovats, collector of mail art!
What followed was nothing short of greatness. Armed with a Serbian bootleg copy of Dreamweaver 2, I crafted some of the finest commentaries of our generation. Can you ever forget where you were when you first read my piece on Japanese Role-Playing Games? Perhaps none of us will.
Ego comes naturally when my aim is humor. There it is, explained. Obviously this is a blog, and I’m George Kovats. Hi. If you know me from work, stop reading immediately. You know too much. If you’re stalking me, clearly your bar is too low. But you’re welcome to sift through my garbage, just prop the can up when you’re done.
There’s not much to be said on these About pages for a self-centered blogs. Clearly my primary motive for the blog is to write my internal rants to the external world. Should people get diverted horribly from a Google search gone wrong to find my post on Evil Spinach, so be it.
I can’t limit the topics because I’m a diverse person. I like chunky and creamy peanut butter. And I’ve been to Niagra Falls, so you know I’m a worldly person (by American standards, at least). I thoroughly enjoy poking fun at institutions that are held in too high a regard, which makes religion and politics delightful for me. And I’m both intrigued and infuriated by technology, especially how it gets incorporated into society. This makes for many luddite-esque rants about simpler times and other cranky sentiments.
One thing to note about this blog: it’s gone through several iterations, and currently exists on WordPress. The old site can still be seen here.
I’m a thirty-something father in the IT field.
I’d go into more elaboration, and frankly my sense of pride could prattle on for hours about my favorite subject, but I’ll spare you the rest. I’ll let the blog and Google fill in this gap. And that probably already covers everything else. Seriously. There’s not a lot of George Kovats’s out there who are naive enough to blog on a domain that shares their full name. I’ll probably have my SSN somewhere in the head of this document. Sloppy work.
