Hey, I’m Hal Niedzviecki. I’m a 37 year-old writer/thinker. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with my wife and two-and-a-half year-old daughter. Up till now I’ve always considered myself a private person. But at the same time I’m fascinated by people who effortlessly open themselves up to the whole world. So I’m going to try it too. I’m starting a blog to tell the world about my private, everyday life.


But this blog isn’t just going to be a public diary. I’m going to set goals and challenges for myself like posing in my underwear in front of a webcam and trying out for reality tv. Over the next year or so, the blog is going to chronicle my attempts to become more and more a part of what I’ve started to call ‘peep culture’. Blogs, Reality TV, YouTube, Facebook – these are all part of a new culture of self exposure and mutual voyeurism that is unlike anything society has ever come up with before.


So I’m blogging about the new peep culture. I’m also going to write a book about it. And to help me really understand what it is to have your life turned into someone else’s voyeuristic entertainment, I’ve teamed up with a production company. They’re going to make a documentary about all my various attempts to experience ‘peep culture’. I’ll be blogging about them too.
