dooce was in the blog-sphere a while ago when the blog got its owner fired from her job. And again, I didn’t really pay attention to it because I thought that was a stupid news.
Tonight after completing my take-home exam at 1AM, as I was going through my daily news-reading ritual, an article on BBC News (god, I love BBC; way better than CNN) ignited my interest in my latest blog find.
Heather’s witty and funny writing has won me over and earned dooce a permenant spot on my daily reading list (50 RSS feeds and growing). The article (“Original Sin”) on getting her first iBook was what did me in. Now I am hooked on her fabulous writing style and penmenship penwomanship — refreshing and resonating. Though her blog has evolved into that of a parent writing about her life raising a daughter, the stories are still facinating reads.
An excerpt:
But do I really need a high-end iBook complete with OS X? What does OS X stand for anyway? Am I ready to give up my right-click privileges? Why is everything, including the air I breathe, now strangely aqua and beveled? Is the church true and does God live?
I bear my testimony to you today that yes, God does live, and his name is Steve Jobs. I am a convert. Praise Jesus and partake of the fruit.
Highly recommended.
