This weekend I noticed a couple of comments on my blog(s) from completely different demographics. It’s weird to have your family, your online pals, former classmates and complete strangers all interacting together in the blogosphere.
To probably only my parents, I’m Robert Patrick O’Hara. But to many of more of you, I’m just Rob O’Hara — husband, father, son, cousin, nephew, uncle, friend, and co-worker. To some of you I was Jack Flack. Those who remember the “Jack” half probably knew me back during the BBS era. These days, it’s just Flack — regular at digitpress.com, atariage.com, thelogbook.com, particles.org, cultdeadcow.com, and more. Occasionally, when writing, I sign pieces as Rob “Flack” O’Hara, to tie the two worlds together.

BTW: I have been in CO, NM, and AZ for the last two weeks taking the tribe cross-country. The temp has been as hot as 95 and as cold as 51. It’s that hot in OK right now?
I didn’t get any right.
Seeing as though you gave me my name, my eye colors, bought me my Commodore , helped me move to most of the places I’ve lived and bought me two of the three cars listed, I highly doubt that. :)
