Self-promotion example

Blogworthy because I've been pointing it out to people as an example lately is the professional website of Ralf Engelschall.

I consider this a nice self-promition site for an alpha hacker in the same field (though with a few years and many accomplishments (to say the least!) up on me), and in the vein of what I intend to do with my own new domain. I like its small size and subtle humor.

(Is it customary for Europeans to put their age and marital status and suchlike on their CVs? If an American mentioned their children in their résumé, I'd likely assume that it was a cynical attempt to look all family-values-ey, but I dunno here.)

Good to keep in mind. I've already received some criticism along these lines for having jmac.org stuff spilling all over my current self-promo page.

Because I'm positioning myself as a service provider and not a potential employee, I can get away with more shenanigans, but I don't want it to get into the level of annoyance or distraction.
