The personal development website Lifehacker has been running a series for a number of years called This is How I Work. For this assignment, you will be posting an introduction to yourself to our course blog by following this format. Feel free to use images like the ones used in the examples you read this week, especially in your introduction and your workspace. You are also writing for the web, so feel free to use links to wherever you want (online apps, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) What follows are the questions to answer:
[Begin with a brief bio written in third person. This won’t have a heading. Just write a 75-200 word bio that captures who you are and why you are noteworthy. What makes you noteworthy? Your job, your hobbies, your volunteer work, your awards, your major, your passions, your hometown. Why third person? Because that’s how these things are usually done. It’s good practice when you have to do this for an article, book, or exposition.]
