She’s a Rocker
July 20th, 2005I keep thinking that I’ll get used to my wife popping up all over the place, but when it happens, I’m still filled with so much pride.
Yeah! (link goes to BBC News)
There is some good advice for people who publish online in the article. o

You know you’ve hit the bigtime when BBC takes notice. Congratulations to you both.
July 20th, 2005 at 11:00 am
That must really be exciting. And hey, YOU are even in the photo in this article!
July 20th, 2005 at 11:04 am
Wow! And they used the photo with the good hair.
Tell her a belated “Hippo Birdie two ewes” from me. I didn’t want to get drowned out by the thundering mass of readers. Are you happy to be only partially visible?

Oh, you should be SO proud! What a woman! Tell her Happy Birthday from me, too! … and she looked TERRIFIC (as did you) on TV. I taped it and watched over and over and over. Okay, no, just kidding - don’t freak. I only watched it once.

She’s *so* the authority. I love that! And she gives great advice on blogging.
Many Congrats to Casa Armstrong & Happy Birthday Heather!

“…freak that a person could ever hope for.”
~ “What is charming is the side of someone that shows that they’re a bit unhinged. If you can’t grasp the small trace of madness in someone, you can’t be their friend. But if you grasp that small point of insanity, “dÈmence,” of someone, the point where they are afraid or even happy, that point of madness is the very source of his/her charm.” (gilles deleuze)

Damn, you guys are popular. My husband even knows who Dooce is and he’s never read a blog in his life, other than mine.
Heather is a great writer. You both are. It’s clear how much respect you have for each other, which is so cool.
Congratulations on the BBC.

That rocks! I read a message board daily and someone just today posted that Heather’s site is her new favourite!
July 20th, 2005 at 5:12 pm
I have obviously been reading your wife’s blog for too long. At first glance, I thought you were proud of her for pooping all over the place. You know, what with her post about pooping in a hotel the other day.
July 20th, 2005 at 5:32 pm
i doubt you will ever get used to it! it is too cool.
July 20th, 2005 at 6:10 pm
it just feels like those days,,,,when you are coming into the tolls. You at 35 miles faster than they suggest, come flying up to the 10 available lines with green lights, and you make an educated/snap/random decision on the fastest moving lane, only to discover that the car 5 in front of you has dropped their last quarter on the ground, which has rolled under the next waiting 3 cars, and at that precise moment you look behind you to see another 14 cars who thought you were Spartacus leading them to freedom, and effectively blocked you into a do not pass go and do not collect 200 bucks situation, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG LANE. I wanted in the lane for life that promised excitement, and success, brillance and intrigue. Jon and Heather got in the right lane!!!! How did I end up in the “my life is incredibly boring until I get to read a new post on Jon and Heather’s blogs for excitement” lane? this post brought to you by http://www.whiners-r-us.com

I like the part where they say “she often uses highly forceful language to drive a point home and her naked truthfulness can sometimes be unsettling.” Hell, yeah! AND SHE SAYS IT IN CAPS TOO. If you can’t handle you can just SUCK IT.
Tell Heather Happy Birthday from me.
July 21st, 2005 at 5:56 am
Yep, that’s a cool birthday present, to be on the BBC! Congratulations to Dooce.
July 21st, 2005 at 8:31 am
You should be proud! I want to be just like her when I grow up. (I’ll be 27 in October.)

In regards to Bree’s comment about “pooping all over the place,” if your wife ever should have a miraculous cure from the constipation, you should consider remaking Ludacris’ current hit “Pimping All Over the World” with a slight word change.
July 21st, 2005 at 11:58 am
Congratulations. I wish she’d enable comments on her photos. I loved the “Charly and the Chocolate Factory” photo… Heather’s comment just sort of puts you there.
July 21st, 2005 at 12:47 pm
Love both of you. My husband thinks I’m an uber dork because I won’t delete the Good Morning America episode with Heather onit, from out TiVo.

I’m so old school I don’t have a TiVo yet, just a VCR (that’s magnetic tape, kiddies). I went on vacation for two weeks, and forced myself not to be obsessive and not to try to tape as much General Hospital as would fit on the tape.
But I did tape Heather’s GMA appearance.
July 21st, 2005 at 3:52 pm
I can’t speak for anyone else, but she’s a regular source of entertainment for me, so you should both be very proud. Let’s hope she just gets better with age!
July 21st, 2005 at 4:54 pm
I think you guys are a great blog team. Your sites really balance each other.
July 21st, 2005 at 7:24 pm
I blogged today about Heather’s blog, my jealousy of her success, and her turning me down for advertising on Dooce.com. Tomorrow I think I’ll blog about poop.
Again, congrats to both of you. It takes two…
July 22nd, 2005 at 8:49 am
Does anyone know if Heather’s interview from Good Morning America can be seen anywhere on the Internet? I didn’t tape or TiVo it. Thanks.
July 24th, 2005 at 2:45 am
I love it I just love it!
July 25th, 2005 at 9:28 am
Congrats to Heather and you! And Happy B-day to you, Jon. The picture on Dooce of you as a little boy is adorable. Can Leta look any more like you?
The picture of you and Heather in the BBC article made me laugh. Heather looks amazing as usual, but you are way too obstructed. Or did you request that?
July 25th, 2005 at 9:50 am
Happy birthday to you Mr. Nerd Dilettante! Your blogging and photography are a real source of enjoyment for myself and many others. May your wife treat you to a lovely spot of Harley riding for your birthday.
I want to sing the Beachboys ” A little Deuce Coop” to you but I keep slipping into a little Dooce poop.
