I think I've figured out why seeing advertisements for Kelly Osbourne's new album seemed so strange. Her promotional pictures show her all primped, wearing about seven pounds of makeup and sporting hair that looks like it was coiffed by about 12 skilled artists. But up until this record was released, her public face was that of a whiny, bratty, typical teenage kid. We've seen the "real" Kelly Osbourne, so seeing her as a pop star makes it look like she is just playing dress-up.

I guess this is why celebrities have publicists, eh? The image that people put out there has a lot of do with their success. If we saw Eminem on TV every week taking his daughter to the zoo, going shoe shopping with her, and reading her bedtime stories, wouldn't his popular image of a angry white man be shattered, making people think he was even more of a phoney?

singley.org and Eric M. Singley have had an on-again, off-again relationship since 2003. This time, though, they are in it for the long haul. Here you'll find a simple blog about a complex man as well as links to his most active projects, all presented using a somewhat-pretentious art gallery metaphor. While Eric doesn't consider his work art per se, he does hope that you'll wander around singley.org a bit and enjoy the time you spend there. If there's anything specific you'd like to know about the proprietor of this space, please don't hesitate to . In short, Mr. Singley (you can call him Eric) has been or is some combination of the following: Minnesotan, Chicagoan, a web developer, a DJ, oddly skilled with a yo-yo, weeMighty, a large-event planner, perfectionistic, a software project manager, a writer, well-groomed, an entrepreneur, very fond of tea, a teacher, hungry for new music, not this guy, a user experience manager, and the designer, coder, writer and docent here at singley.org.
