Karsh
About: Twentysomething web designer, freelance writer, graphic designer, blogger, podcaster and all around internet fiend.
I'm the creator of BlackGayBlogger.com (est. June 2003) and the Black Weblog Awards (est. Aug. 2005). My site has been cited in the Washington Post, Newsweek, Newsday and on CNN's Showbiz Tonight.
Professionally, I'm a web designer for a mega technology company which, for all intents and purposes, is simply referred to as Big Company, Inc.
