About sourpuss

Lars H is the administrative assistant, shipping department, bookkeeper, strategic planner and VP of Butt Kicking at Clean Air Gardening (http://cleanairgardening.com), an online business dedicated to environmentally friendly lawn and garden supplies. He is also the owner, if you didn’t already guess.

Never one to do fewer than 10 things at once, Lars also acts as the webmaster for Yoyoplay.com (the world’s greatest online yoyo store), works as a freelance writer for an unnamed regional ISP (where he picks the Hot Site of the Day for their thousands and thousands of customers, and has surfed the entire web twice), and has his own personal yoyo site called Yomania.com that makes him a hero among 12 year olds and geeks.

Lars has bachelor of arts degree in German and a master’s degree in international journalism from Baylor University. He recently completed an MBA at Colorado State University in May of 2000, and even wrote a review about it.

Professionally, Lars has worked as the English language catalog copywriter for a furniture parts company in Nowheresville, Germany, as a trade magazine editor for the evil tobacco industry, as the PR flak for a web development company that deserves to go broke but hasn’t (yet!), and as an employee of a few other companies too dull to mention. As a full-fledged member of the Information Economy, Lars plans to never, ever, ever, ever, ever become a corporate drone, and has no allegiance to any company that he hasn’t created himself. His motto is, “Quit before they reorganize and fire you anyway.”

Although spiritually, Lars likes to ask himself WWJD? (What Would Jesus Do), on a day-to-day personal level he often asks WWED? (What Would Elvis Do), and on a professional strategic level he ponders WWJBD? (What Would Jeff Bezos Do). He’s always careful not to mix up which type of question goes to which role model after once blasting out his computer screen with a .45 pistol. He is pictured above with Elvis. That’s who the guy claimed he was, anyway.

As a former unenthusiastic resident of Boulder “We Think We’re Better Than You Are” Colorado, Lars moved back to Dallas in his home state of Texas this year, and is damn glad to be there.

Although he uses the moniker Sourpuss, Lars normally only spends time writing about things that he generally likes. If all publicity is good publicity, then it’s probably better that he ignore horrible products and services completely.

When not writing Epinions reviews, Lars enjoys writing about himself in third person, because it makes him feel important and cool.
