If I already know you, you can ignore Sydney here. Let’s reconnect. Just send me a note using one of the methods below and I’ll get back to you pronto.

I’m also delighted to hear from fans, followers, and anyone who sincerely wants to chat about interests we have in common. Just tell me a bit about that shared passion and I’ll respond.

But (and sorry if this part comes across as harsh) if you’re trying to sell me something, fuck off. I don’t care if you waste your own time, but I’ll get pretty pissy if you try to waste mine. Just move on to the next target on your toxic harassment list. If you decide to try anyway, be aware that you’ve got 10 words to convince Sydney that you’re in one of the first two groups and not trying to sell me something. If you can do that, I’ll get back to you. If you can’t, Sydney has instructions to delete you in the most painful way he can devise.

With that out of the way, here are your two options…

Comments

The best way to get in touch is through the comment system here. Just sign in to the comment box below and leave a note at the bottom of the page. I get notified of every comment, so your message will reach me.

Email

I won’t share my real email address here, because spammers, but you can reach me through a fake one. Just take your own first and last names and send an email addressed to FIRST.LAST at smithicus.com. The same rules apply as above: you’ve got 10 words (the entire subject line) to convince me to read further. Use them wisely.

Social Media

Read this and then ask again.

Phone Number

Seriously? Haven’t you read any of the above?

About The New Site

Welcome to the new Creativity Hacker. If you remember the old site, things will look very different this time around, but there’s method beneath the madness. Follow me down below the fold to find out how I’m organizing things this time around. And more importantly, why.

About The Comment System

Having had my web site hacked a couple of years ago, I abruptly lost all enthusiasm for running one, so after I locked it down, I took a few years to think about what to do. In that time, I’ve realized that for 98% of what I truly want my website to be, there is zero reason to give anybody access to changing the site from within the site itself. Even I don’t have such powers. And by not letting anybody change anything, the site can be remarkably secure against hackers. Not 100%, but much, much closer than any system that includes interactive editing features as part of the design.
