Because this site is for people who I know in real life. I suppose it's also fine for people that I would never want to know or will never need to know or care about. But whoever you are, I've decided that you're going to have to solve this little *fill in the blanks* game below to get in. It's not hard, but it should weed out a handful of undesireables.
Don't fret. If you really DO know me, from whatever era of my life, you'll most likely get in. You could Google your way in too I suppose. And you can always just call me if not. But if you only know me as the guy who cycles
through two casual blazers and six Banana Republic dress shirts, or I helped you with some short-sighted software solutions, you'll
have to settle for surfing over to the less personal mgbyrne.net web site. That gets you my online resume. Then maybe if we find something actionable to do together, and we hit it off as humans, I may not even realize when you know me well enough to get into this site. If that happens, it's probably a good thing.
