I'll have to cogitate on this. Including the personal stuff is just part of the "praxis" thing. I firmly believe that if one doesn't participate in digital media (especially social software - "web 2.0"), then they really won't understand it. Part of my differentiation is including the cultural production.

That's exactly my point - it's all about you. So why is your website speaking about you as if there was someone else doing the writing? People want to hire you, interact with you, not with a third person.
And I completely agree with the combination of your art, blogging, etc. as the total nostatic package. I don't think you should take on the personality of "Nostatic" when you write professionally - "Nostatic completed his graduate work studying thongs and bongs..." But it just sounds awkward when you write, "Todd completed his graduate work flattening coyotes..."
Make it more conversational - in the about section, use statements like, "Hi. I'm Todd Richmond and nostatic is my..." "After completing my graduate work...I explored..."
