Heather Armstrong is an American blogger who writes under the pseudonym Dooce which came from her inability to quickly spell "dude" during IM chats with her former co-workers.

In 2002, she ignited a fierce debate about privacy issues when she was fired from her job as a web designer and graphic artist because she had written satirical accounts of her experiences at a dot-com startup on her weblog.

Her domain name - http://dooce.com - has since become an internet neologism: to be "dooced" is to lose one's job as a result of something one wrote on the internet.
