A few of you have asked me, “Where the hell is your birth story? Your kid is almost a month old already!” Actually, I exaggerate; those of you who have asked were very nice about it, but it IS about time, isn’t it? Thus, I plan to put it in writing in the next day … More Something blue
I am at work, and I am logged into Blogger. This was impossible just a few days ago, but for some reason I managed access. I’m not questioning my good fortune. I think maybe the Universe opened up the portal for me so I could say this: if you haven’t already, go send some peace … More I am at work, and I am logged into Blogger. This w…
Hi. My name is HD, and I have writer’s block. There, I said it. I thought you should know, as I have been promising my version of wit and creativity for, well, the entire summer. No doubt you’ve noticed it just isn’t happening. I find it strange indeed that my creative juices flow more smoothly … More Step 1
As promised, each day of my vacation I sent a picture a day from cell phone to blog for your viewing enjoyment. Before I left, in true geek fashion, I merged the initial mobile blog and my current blog and then I did a test send before I left to make sure it worked. Satisfied … More It’s hard out here for a geek

Five minutes ago, at about 11:50 a.m., I attempted to show another co-worker the same pictures and discovered that in that not-quite three hour period, Flickr had been “blocked” by my school district’s watchdog/big brother filter. Why? Because the site’s … More It’s only a matter of time
Caesar was assassinated. Columbus returned to Spain after discovering the “New World.” Maine became a state, and the Revolutionary War Battle of Guilford Courthouse was fought in Greensboro, less than a mile from my house. The American Legion was founded, Czar Nicholas was forced to abdicate the throne, and oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia. … More On this day… [Edited with link repairs and additional humor]

Another note: I started this post during a lull in my 3rd period … More Thirteen things I should have blogged about in the past week but didn’t
When I was spellchecking my gum story, I got a huge laugh out of the spellchecker’s suggested spellings for the words “freakin’” and “ballcap.” Thank goodness I was paying attention and didn’t click REPLACE. Otherwise I might have been sitting in “a foreskin wad of blue gum” while wearing a skirt instead of shorts and … More Wait, wait, don’t spell me
There is a reason I did not go into some sort of computer-based career. Well, there are a few–calculus and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, for example. But I do not want to write about those. I want to write about how I have spent around five hours today in front of a screen making edits, creating … More What I did on my summer vacation, volume 1
