My Name is William Slack
About Me
I'm an alum of Williams from Decatur, Georgia.
I tweet under my real name and anonymously blogged at Daily Kos and RedState. I also find stories via aggregators: Reddit, Digg, Metafilter, Fazed, and Fark. I recommend Google Voice, and loved Google Reader (now I use NewsBlur). I got my start blogging here.
