kenspeckle.net
"Kenspeckle" is an amazingly cool Scottish word meaning conspicuous.
This blog is supposed to be "a humorous, hyperlinked look at language, internet culture, and anything conspicuous," which coincidentally began one fine day in September 2005 with a fabulous etymology of everyone's favorite synonym for conspicuous.
Lauren Sperber
Lauren Hope Sperber is a geeky girl living in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Recently, she's created this site Datamob, written an M.A. thesis on search engines (for a degree ostensibly in English Literature, no less), and done some other things.
Places you can find her online include: del.icio.us, LinkedIn, flickr, etsy, LibraryThing, Twitter, vimeo, Facebook, and foursquare.
Lauren was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she spent far too much time inside Sunblades Ice Arena and was voted most likely to spontaneously combust by her high school graduating class (an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme).
She's available for your emailing pleasure at: lauren {~at~} kenspeckle {~dot~} net.
