How to Know Too Much about Michael Bateman

Hello. My name is Michael Bateman and this is my worldwide web page.


Right now, you are probably asking yourself, okay, why do I care? Why should I read on?

I have no good answer for you. In fact, my advice would be (depending on which Browser you are using) to look above this window, in the button bar, there should be a button labeled "Back" with a button like this on it. Press it, get on with your life and forget you were ever here.

There. If you are still reading, then you probably know me and are reading this by my invitation. I don't need to worry about some stranger reading accounts of my mediocre adventures in marathons, surviving in Los Angeles without a car, or spending two weeks in the June Sierras with far too few M&Ms when they could instead be hanging out at CNN Interactive, MSNBC, or some other place where their time could be better spent delving into the intricacies of Bob Dole's economic plan, getting up to the minute reports on the box office gross of Independence Day and downloading quicktime movies of Kerri Strug's now famous vault. And there is the possibility that you don't know how to use your browser at all and you are stuck here. And in that case I am still worried about you, but for different reasons.

But lastly, there is the possibility that you know perfectly well how to use your browser, you have no idea who I am, and you refused to heed my advice about shoving off. In this case, feel free to hang out and browse all you like. You can even email me at
michael@batemanproductions.com
with any comments. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
