It's a little ditty that goes something like this. You tell us in the comments who you are, where you live, what you do, where you've been, or where you are going (unless you are being conned at BloggerCon). Or, just say hello.

Leave your graffiti and have a great weekend.

I'm in Dallas, I'm an office drone, formerly done some freelance writing, dabbled in standup comedy for a while (including co-founding a regular comedy showcase), now dabbling in web graphics and weblogging ...

Shirl
Hello. Go Green. Great to see BloggerNoCon sprouting up here. You Rock!

Shirl reminded us that today is Susan's birthday.
PunkClown Hi! I'm Cameron, a newbie blogger. I am a husband, father and registered nurse working in the Emergency Department of a local hospital. I live in Melbourne, Australia, where I dabble in amateur photography, graphic art, web design and various forms of absurdity. Sincere thanks to Mandarin design and all who sail in here for all the help and friendship!
Hi, I'm Gary Williams, an unemployed programmer, former newspaperman and sometime pizza cook. Right now I'm in upstate New York (the hills outside of Binghamton) but, since there aren't any jobs here and a friend of mine suggested I go back to Calfornia and help her move into her new house, I think I may move back to the Bay Area sometime this month. (I'll let you know, meg, if this works out.) I like the stuff meg teaches us, and I steal some of it and fiddle with it (in true programmer style). As a consequence, sometimes meg steals it back! (Yay, meg!)
sarchi I'm presently timing-out with my server but I go any-where do anything, and go absolutely mad about MD tricks. Are trying to sort a comments heavy weight. Can't for the life of me stand-up-and sprout-comedy, probably shy. I have bills to pay and can't get a desk job with a classy broad? UK garden of England
Otto here, from mid-Michigan! I spend way too much time on the computer; latest obsession - blinkie calendars. I'm a secretary at a church. Can't get rich there but I love my job! I've found so many cool things here! Thanks Meg!!
loowho Hi I'm Cindy. I hope it's not too late to join the party! I'm from Toronto, Canada. I'm unemployed, and am taking one course at a seminary. I like to blog, but have been lazy lately, because I've been dabbling in a new interest - magic.
Justin as swimPC Hi, I'm Justin and I just graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with Bachelor's degree in Information Technology. Right now, I'm an independent IT contractor for three deaf companies at the same building here in Rochester. Also, I'm seeking a permanent IT position as well. If you know anybody who needs an IT position, let me know!!! I need a job!!! I'm deaf and involved with an deaf organization that provides many types of fun events, such as recreation, for the deaf, hard of hearing and hearing people where there are opportunities for them to socialize.
Kathryn Hello, I'm Kathryn. I'm a professional counselor who is trying to build a private practice in Austin, TX. I used to keep a blog called The Hestia Chronicles, but had to retire it because my name was too associated with the personal nature of that blog, making it incompatible with starting a therapy practice. I did start up another personal blog with a pseudonym, though. I tend to be a homebody, though I went up to my hometown (Syracuse, NY) in June for my 40th birthday, to visit my folks. I'll be returning for Christmas. I'll be attending something like BloggerCon, only it's called the Webwriters Convention, or JournalCon, and it's being hosted in Austin!
Michael O'Connor Clarke

Frank Paynter
Hi!
My name is Frank! I'll be your curmudgeon today. I'm fortunate enough to have some paying work right now, and I spent some of the money to attend BloggerCon. Maybe some of the brilliant young people there will need a curmudgeon to help them with an implementation project some day!
Maybe I will be that curmudgeon! They announced the MacArthur genius grants today and I didn't get one.
Again.
f (curmudgeon) p
