In case there's a migration of strangers from Facebook

[dewline]

Because with the latest from the Cambridge Analytica mess underway, who knows, right?

Some people might remember my name from Facebook and wonder who the heck this guy is that's been typing out...something that maybe is sometimes sensible and on other occasions makes you want to perforate their skull with your fist.

I'm Dwight. I'm a Canadian nerd. Sometimes, I've been a writer. Others, an artist, still other times, an office worker. I don't plan to discuss that last part of my work history much. It's not secret, just not what I want to talk about here.

I started this out on Livejournal years and years ago. I thought then that I was going to promote myself as a writer and illustrator. Some of my friendlist here knows me from at least that far back. I left because Livejournal was expected to expect me to write this here blog as if I were living and working in Putin's version of Russia. Because their servers had been moved there.

I was born in what some call Treaty 4 territory out on the prairies of North America/Turtle Island to Euro-Canadian parents. I live in Ottawa-Gatineau, built on what's still unceded Alqonquin territory.

So that's the short version.

To give you a glimpse of my nerdity, my un-custom license plate is NRD-512: Nerd 2^9th! I was ever so happy to get it, especially the fact that it was a random event that gave it to me.

I've had a smallish obsession with license plates in general going back aways. I think it's mainly focused upon the designs as they've evolved across the decades...

Arizona, the state that I am from, in addition to the Grand Canyon, is well-known as having huge copper mines. Their license plates used to be stamped from copper.
