Interesting, that he introduced himself in the third person.
I wonder what made him take this approach?
- trevcanhuman 5y agoHis family/friends probably changed it.
- ArtTimeInvestor 5y agoYou mean after his death? I don't think so. Waybackmachine shows it was like this in early 2012 already.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI dunno, it's not uncommon to do so on e.g. CVs.
- garbagetime 5y agoI have noticed that it is not unusual to do so on personal websites.
- JCharante 5y agoHe also has his previous website, and his previous previous website (same url). Most of it is archived on way back machine, and there are many pages worth reading.
- throwawaygh 5y agoI wouldn't over-analyze. Third person intros are very common on personal websites, especially for folks who often give talks, invited lectures, or are written about in the press. If your personal website starts with a short intro written in 3rd person then the person introducing your talk/lecture will, 9/10 times, simply read out your own description of yourself. Reporters will summarize the key points when introducing you in a story. Assuming the person speaking/writing about you is favorable or neutral, you control exactly how you're framed. If you write the intro in first person or have an overly pithy description, then they'll sort of make their own intro which could go well or not so well ;-)
