Type your name in this box.

Use your finger on the screen or some code.

It's faster, it's easier, and more convenient.

Your signature used to be your character made visible.

At least that's what I was once told.

We turn something personal into something functional, like so much else in our society.

So what do you think?

Is your signature still yours?

Let me know@jamesabrown.net or call me.

On that note, I'm James A.

Brown, and as always, be.
