A while back, Josh had Run Level Media business cards made up. I love the red RL that covers one side. Underneath his name, he had Internet Ninja, which I thought was cool. I wanted to put something similar on mine, but I couldn't think of anything interesting. I ended up doing Internet Guru because I wasn't smart enough to come up with anything fun and original.

But Internet Guru always seemed arrogant. I've worked in Internet startups, I've worked on huge web platforms, but calling myself Internet Guru just seemed pretentious. Tessa Horehled's blog post How To Identify A New Media Douchebag just made it worse, because she was right. I definitely don't know it all, and Guru made it seem like I did.

So I talked to the wife about this. To paraphrase her response "Ummm, you are a geek. Call yourself an Internet Geek."

Now I don't feel like a prick when handing out my shiny new business cards.
