Today marks the seventh anniversary of this Web site, iwilldare.com. I wish I could say something pithy and provocative about blogging or the Internet after having been in the game for so long, but Alison said it beautifully a few weeks ago.
I miss the Internet from 2001 too. It seemed like a friendlier place. [...]

When I got home this afternoon from my morning hanging with the Chiliwinkers, I purposely kept my pants on. I figured that if I stayed dressed, I’d be more apt to be productive. The weird logic didn’t even work on me. Instead I curled into the comfy green chair and spent most of the rest [...]

Sweet! I’m City Pages Minnesota Blog of the Day.

Rex at Fimoculous posted a link to SnapShirts which will analyze your web site, and then make a tag cloud of the most commonly used words and then let you order up a t-shirt with your tag cloud. IT KICKS ASS.

Wolfdog asked: Have you had moments you were considering giving up iwd.com? If so, explain…
Of course, but mostly only in extremely moments of intense brattiness. It usually involves people who think that by reading iwilldare.com they’re keeping in touch with me. It makes me really mad, because it’s so one sided. They get to know [...]

1975 Jimmy Hoffa Disappears

A long time ago when BFK and I worked for the same company, she outed my website to my Evil Coworker. It wasn’t a total outing because my coworkers all knew about iwilldare.com, but none of them read it.

My Movable Type had a case of the Bad Object driver something or other, making it impossible for me to post. It was the most terrifying 11 hours of my life. Of course, I slept for like 6 of them, but you know.
I am, however, back. I am sure you missed me terribly. I [...]

it’s weird when you’re a writer and you have absolutely nothing to say. i always think it’s a little odd when i get an e-mail from someone who reads iwilldare.com, or meet someone who reads it and they say “your life is so interesting.” and i’m all, “how can it be? i do nothing.”
it’s also [...]

five years ago tonight, iwilldare.com blinked into existence. oddly enough, the first post quotes a replacements’ lyric. or at least i always identify it as a replacements’ lyric. i started iwilldare.com because my friend orangetim, whom i ‘met’ through a soul coughing newsgroup, told me it was cool. sadly, i think tim has given up [...]

ok, so all that down time, that was all totally my fault. my fault and thanks to Sister #2 we’re back. and these are officially the mad props that she demanded.
