Brent Logan, Blood Donor

I donated blood just over a month ago and my donor card came in the mail today. W00t! I’m official!

Actually, it’s not my first time; it’s just the only time the American Red Cross has it on record. I gave blood once before while in college, in the dark ages before computers ran willy-nilly over the face of the earth. So my blood donor card says “Units Lifetime: 1″ when it’s actually 2. My goal is to make this 1-unit error insignificant.

I can give blood again on November 19. Will you join me?

  • Just discovered someone hotlinking one of my images. Let’s see how well a nice, informative comment works…. #
  • Missing IgnitePortland, but helping my son write his book report on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. #
  • Awesome! My friendly comment re hotlinking my picture went well, and I found a new blog (and twitterer) to follow. #
  • Frost on the windshield and a mocha in hand. I *love* fall. #
  • @jabancroft: Good morning (barely). I have my bitstories shirt on today. :^) #

One good reason to have a thorough home inspection before buying a previously-occupied house.

  • Off to the airport. I’ll be home tonight. Smile #
  • Sitting at SMF with my computer on my lap. I love free Wifi. Makes the wait pass faster. #
  • Ashely called Suzi from the Dominican Republic, who IM’d me, who called Bob on the cell. She received the DHL package. Gotta love it! #
  • Plane’s boarding. Guess I better get on it… #
  • Took four (or five?) computer reboots to actually get going this morning. Man, oh man, do I love Windows! #
  • @treowth Penny also has a blog. But you probably already knew that. http://pennyherscher.blogspot.com/ #
  • @treowth. It’s simple, just type the "@" symbol, followed by the twitter username, e.g., "blogan". Twitter client software makes it easier. #
  • Just noticed gluten-free options in the cafeteria at work. I wonder how long they’ve been available. #
  • Amazing realization: the more people I follow, the more I Tweet (and it doesn’t feel excessive). Explains a lot about @scoble… #
  • @treowth Yes (and the next one, too.) #
  • Anonymous helpful hint: taking your laptop into the bathroom stall is just a little too dedicated. That’s what Blackberries are for… #

I defy you to tell me what those letters are.

Oh, and the blog went commentless…
