How we met

As some know and some don't, Fae and I met online.  In 1993.  Before online dating.  Before almost online ANYTHING.

We were playing a roleplaying game called a MUSH, it was based on the bestselling books by Anne McCaffrey called Dragonriders of Pern.  We began roleplaying and talking OOC (out of character - there's a way to send messages to just that player) and enjoyed spending time together online.  I was going to be leaving for the summer, so she asked for my phone number so we could talk on the phone.

That was February of 1993, and 15 years later, she still thinks I'm kind of cool :)

Anyway, a post on MetroDad made me think about it.  Go look, its a good article about transitioning from online to real life relationships.

Blogging

I've been working on some projects - html, ruby, blogs - and I've come to the notion that I am truly a geek.

I started a new blog - The Real Green Guy to try and gather stuff I'm researching on how to make my life greener without spending a lot of money - ie getting solar panels, buying a hybrid, etc.  Looking for stuff more along the lines of using less water by turning it off while you soap up, or getting ducts cleaned to prevent air being blocked, etc.

I'm also going to try to start blogging more and finding and sharing interesting blogs.

first up is one I found by accident - MetroDad - an interesting look into the life of a NYC Dad.

second is one I found thru MetroDad, Wind in your Vagina - no, it's not dirty.  See the post on the right side describing what it is.

Anyway, I should get back to my day job.  Flew into work today so I had time to do some reading and posting :)
