Who does Jonathan Crossfield think he is?

Well, you're reading this page so I must be worthy of your attention!

Having decided the best way to world domination is to rant and shout, I have two blogs serving as the receptacles for the bizarre brain discharges I politely call opinions. These are Copywrite - focussing on writer matters, and Atomik Soapbox - digging through marketing issues. Both share my fondness for speaking my mind and pretending to be far more authoratitive than I probably am in an effort to boost my ego.

Then again, someone has to tell you what to think after all!

I pass the days as a keyboard slave, or Communications Manager if you want to be polite, for Netregistry - Australia's largest domain provider and web host. Not content with producing content for two personal blogs, two employer blogs, two news centres and a host of major websites, I also threaten the editor of Nett Magazine to let me splash my thoughts across four pages each month.

Okay, so it's probably closer to the truth to say that the editor chases me with a rusty knife for missing my deadlines and I have no power in the relationship at all, but my version is happier.

I live online and develop the shakes should I be disconnected for too long. There are too many ideas in my skull that I need to continually brain-dump them into Twitter, blogs and elsewhere to prevent my head splattering across the room from the pressure.

Squeezing some of those ideas into scripts, articles, screenplays or short 140 character missives is a constant workout for the literary muscle, flexing in the centre of my cerebrum. Where the rest of my frame has degenerated to belt-defying flab, this one taut and sculpted muscle is still able to crush a walnut.

Okay, so you've read who Jonathan Crossfield is. Now you can go read some of my blog posts and vehemently disagree with me. Go on - I dare you!
