Who are you?
I'm Simon. I'm British (as English as they come). I'm 30. I live in London. I'm very middle class. You can fill in the gaps from the rest of the site.
Why are you writing this website?
Oh, several reasons:
- I'm too lazy to write individual e-mails about my life to my globally distributed friends
- Writing, particularly about the more emotional events in my life, is cathartic
- I enjoy it, and harbour thoughts of writing something more substantial. According to de Botton, Nietsche made the point that the only way to get to the summit of a mountain is to struggle up it and correspondingly the only way to become a writer is to write, and write, and write. So I'm writing
- I think it's quite cool to have a website
Why's it called more?
I just like the sound of it. I've decided that my global brand name (behind which lurks the shadowy and secretive DringCorp organisation) is "more". The starting point is this website, next will be a nightclub, a range of bars, a confectionery and weaponry line and so on, until eventually the whole world asks only for more and I am your master.
Chances are it'll stay at just the website.
Why's the domain name worldofmore.com?
Unsurprisingly, when I looked, more.com had already gone, as had more.net, more.org etc. etc. and I didn't think I'd have much of a case for arbitration or litigation. worldofmore seemed like a good alternative. Plus it's got potential to let me get bought out further down the line should e.g. WHSmiths rebrand as worldofmore.
So is it more or worldofmore?
Dunno, pick whichever you'd prefer.
