There's a new phenom to hit the internet block: a website that randomly connects you and your webcam to other users called Chatroulette.  I skimmed over the various requisite media reports about the danger it could pose to children and teenagers, but I wasn't convinced.  Isn't the internet itself a cadre of caveat emptor brambles we try to step through, anyway?  I remember my teen days on ICQ, IRC, and the numerous chat rooms where conversations opened and closed, graphic language flung my direction.  Danger?  Really?  Read more >

About my life as a Pacific Islander living in Seattle and running after a toddler

About Me: 

I am an island gal turned Seattleite living with a toddler, husband and two cats.  I try to stay out of the rain mostly.

Something that would surprise you about me: I was the 1,000th blogger to use the original Blogger in 1999, long before Blogspot and Google.  I also graduated with a senior class of SEVEN people.  And four of us were salutatorians.  Still not sure about that one.

I blog at http://www.kirida.com

seattle, WA
