Welcome!
My name is Daniel Howard. I grew up in Chicago, and I live in San Francisco. I was born in 1976: the year of the American Bicentennial. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English Rhetoric, but I make my living as a Systems Administrator.
I enjoy writing, and I started publishing on the web in 1995. I started an online journal in 1996, after seeing some other journals written by students in Hawaii. Over time, this web site has evolved away from autobiography and has become more of a “blog” with emphasis on personal essay, editorial, and technical writing. I usually share important personal news online, and I have archives stretching back over the past decade.
My life has had more than its share of adventure . . . changing jobs, migrations, travel, lovers, even a short-lived marriage. I am getting better at surfing the ebbs and floes of fortune, and I’m working to better anchor my life, so that when I meet a great life partner we can keep things fairly stable long enough to raise a few wonderful children together.
Site Notes
I recently launched a significant site re-design. While the overall mode of most of this site is a blog format, the front page has broken from the traditional “here’s a bunch of stuff I just wrote” format. There are recent highlighted articles over on the right. For other new content, you will have to dig around.
If you want to keep tabs on everything I might write, you can watch the “everything” page, or subscribe to the main site feed. I have added little subscription links 
to the category pages, in case your subscription interests are more specific.
I am still experimenting with this new site design, so your feedback is especially welcome just now.
Thanks,
-danny

Fat guy talking
Hi, Danny Howard. I just had to drop a line to let you know: Either someone’s hijacked your identity to post crap on our blog, or I just got a taste of your English rhetoric (not to mention your friendly ethics) in the comments on our website for the American Dance Festival.
The first two minutes of that video is a fat guy talking.
That is not what I want to see on acid, or even a Friday afternoon.

Ironies: Our experiment in letting people post unmoderated began yesterday morning — and within 24 hours, either a systems administrator or someone who’s jacked his i.d. hoses us.
At least his rhetoric was, um, English. Although not very friendly. Or really all that ethical, for that matter. But then, you already know that. Right?
