Frequently Asked Questions
Actually, most of these questions haven’t been asked. At least not of me. But I’m not one to flaunt convention when it comes to naming documents.
What’s your deal?
I take ideas and make them big, bold, and beautiful. I also practice content strategy and wear sunglasses. Sometimes I make websites.
Read my About page to learn more.
Where’s your portfolio?
I don’t have a god damn portfolio.
Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Rutland, Vermont, USA.
If you know where Killington is: Rutland is right next to that.
If you don’t know where Killington is: then you’re probably not from New England. Or you only ski the Rockies. Or you don’t ski at all. (That’s cool. I don’t either.)
These days, I live in Chicago. Which is in Illinois. Also USA.
Why did you make this website?
Because making websites is (mostly) fun. Also because I wanted to create an owned space where I could aggregate and edit the content I create online — without sacrificing the ease-of-use and visibility that comes with using dedicated third-party properties such as Flickr, Tumblr, and Twitter.
How did you make this website?
With lots of effort, lots of good advice from smart people, and lots of open source software. I used Photoshop, too.
You can read the details in the Colophon.
How do you pronounce your name?
That’s a good one. And by the way: Thanks Dad!
Anyway, I say it like this:
- “Jereme” just like “Jeremy”. (But check out how the way I spell it looks cooler.)
- “Mongeon” like “Mon-jone”. Unless Dad is around, in which case it’s like “Moh-zhoh”. (Dad grew up speaking French.)
Why does this site look broken in my browser?
Probably because you’re using an old, outdated, piece-of-crap browser like Internet Explorer 6.
Now, the polite thing to do would be for me to extensively test my website in a variety of browsers. Then, having noted instances where this site wasn’t displaying correctly, I would fix the inconsistencies so that everyone could use this site — regardless of their browser.
I didn’t do that. Mostly because I don’t care. It’s nothing against you. But seriously, get with the times and upgrade your browser. You can get the latest version of Internet Explorer here.
You might also be using Opera. Seriously, dude: just let it go, okay?
Using Safari? This site should work just fine. But I should point out that the t-shirt you’re wearing isn’t as cool as you think it is.
If you really want this site to work in your browser: use Firefox. That’s what I’ve optimized this site for. Because that’s how I fucking roll.
Why isn’t my question asked here?
Because you haven’t asked it yet. At least not as far as I know.
Send me an email. I’ll send you one back. If it’s a good question, I’ll add it to this list.
