Today, an astronaut, Queen (of Egypt) Tiye, and Deborah the Prophetess.

And Joshua was going to be a firefighter but he was sick/being naughty so…  At least we can tell you what he’s going to be next year.

Five years ago today, the Daily Durias took up residence on the blogosphere. How then, shall we party?

In October of 2003, this blog lived over at Blogger.com. You can click here to go back to the original Daily Durias and enjoy random Blogger-era posts.

In February of 2007, we moved here to WordPress.com. (Sorry, Todd.) Random WordPress-era posts are here.

Lastly, let’s use the comments portion of this post as a guestbook. We’d love it if you would sign it. It’d be great to hear from you and to see what your Identicon looks like. “Identicon?” you ask? Oh yes. Identicons are…

A cool math-based image idea created by Don Park that’s unique to the commenter, so even if someone doesn’t have an avatar yet they have a consistent (and handsome) image next to their name when they comment.

Have fun!

More pictures here.
