Ok, Ok, I got to it...

I updated my blog roll, I have others I will be adding in the next week or so.

Some new notables include:
Kicking up Confetti Leaves - friend and former coworker
DC Power - my father, the greatest super hero of all time.

I think I need to tell the story about the pseudonym, DC Power (mostly because I don't think my dad remembers everything about it):
A couple years ago I wanted to demonstrate my new webcam to my parents. I showed my dad how to use MSN Messenger. I set it up downstairs and they watched me upstairs. Dad, set up up his display name as DC Power -- his initials (he has no middle name) plus his occupation (electrical engineer).

Fast forward a couple years and both of his daughters have blogs. After much "frustration" over his "serious reputation being ruined" on his daughters' blogs, he started to threaten "just wait until I have my blog". Just like he claimed he was going to get a trick bike, it seemed like a pretty empty threat. Before Christmas, my dad and I were watching hockey and he threatened me with what he would post about me o n his blog, once he got one. I asked him what his blog name would be. He wasn't sure so I started suggesting ridiculous ones: "Rashumba, Queen of Fabrics", "Papa Brisebois", "David Powpow"* and "DC Power". I even called Dad "Papa Brisebois" for a couple days preceding.

With my dad working more at home during the winter, a coworker suggested they start web conferencing. He logged onto Windows Live Messenger for what he thought was the first time to rediscover he already had some contacts and the display name "DC Power". He admitted to me later that he thought I had just made it up and thought it was a pretty good nickname, not realising it was he made up himself.

Now my daddy has a blog, much to my surprise. Now, I know why my dad wants spring to come, he wants to learn some sick tricks on his new bike.


* Joe Powpow was a quarterback for the RoguhRiders in the 80s. Dad used to tease me that I was going to marry him someday just so my name would be Janice Powpow. I do admit, that would be a pretty awesome name.
