Times It's Been DNS

The world's first.
And still the best.

This isn't a generic "tech humor" book slapped together by someone who thinks WiFi password jokes are still funny. This is the world's first joke book dedicated entirely to IT professionals — written by 1337 Brad Brundage, someone who actually gets the culture.

🎯

Actually Relatable

Every joke lands because it comes from real IT culture — the ticket queues, the Layer 8 failures, the VLAN arguments, and the sacred ritual of clearing cache. Not Google. Not "the cloud." Real work.

🎁

The Best Desk Gift Ever

Finally something worth leaving in the break room. Better than another mug. Way better than a motivational poster. The kind of gift that makes coworkers say "where did you find this?"

😮‍💨

Stress Relief, Certified

When the on-call alert fires at 3am and it is, yet again, DNS — you need something to laugh about. This book is cheaper than therapy and easier to deploy than a firewall rule.

🤝

Bridges the Entire Team

Sysadmins, network admins, DBAs, devs, and even the help desk all find something that hits. Use it as a conversation starter. Or a peace offering after a long incident.

📖

Pick Up & Put Down Anytime

No chapters. No plot. No mandatory onboarding. Works perfectly during a 5-minute coffee break, between tickets, or while waiting for a server to reboot. Again.

A few from the stack.

These are the ones we can show you without breaking something. The rest require elevated privileges.

joke_001.txt
Why don't network admins ever get lost?
They always know their default gateway.
joke_002.txt
I asked my sysadmin how he stays so calm during outages.
He said it's all about maintaining a healthy work-life /etc/balance.
joke_003.txt
How many network engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
None. That's a physical layer problem. Open a ticket.
joke_042.txt — hover to preview
What did the DBA say when asked if the database was the problem?
That's indexed. Look, it's the query. The query is wrong. The database is fine. I'm fine. Everything's fine.

Why did the developer go broke?
Because they used up all their cache.

Ships fast. Reads faster. Troubleshoots nothing (that's your problem).

From the people in the trenches.

Feedback from people who've read IETF RFCs for fun and still found this funny.

★★★★★

"Left this on the help desk counter and within two days the whole team had read it. Someone took it home. I'm considering it a successful deployment."

Marcus T.
Sr. Network Engineer · 14 yrs experience
★★★★★

"My wife bought this as a gift. I laughed out loud on page three. She didn't understand why, which only made it funnier. This book understands me in ways people don't."

🧑‍🔧
Dave R.
Sysadmin · "It was DNS. It's always DNS."
★★★★★

"Bought six copies. One for me, five for the team. The DBA laughed for the first time this year. ROI: confirmed. 10/10 would provision again."

👩‍💼
Sarah K.
IT Manager · Fortune 500
★★★★☆

"Would give 5 stars but my co-worker stole my copy. So I ordered another. And a third as backup. Highly recommend redundant copies. No single point of failure."

🖥️
Jordan L.
DevOps Engineer · "Always HA."
★★★★★

"I've been in IT for 22 years. I thought I'd seen everything. I had not seen this level of accurate, precise, painfully relatable humor. Whoever wrote this has been in a server room."

🧓
Ron B.
Veteran Sysadmin · Retired (almost)
★★★★★

"Best gift in 11 years of office exchanges. I gave someone a coffee mug. They gave me this. I don't know who won but I think I know who won."

👩‍💻
Priya M.
Help Desk Lead · "Coffee keeps me alive."

If they've ever stared at a
blinking cursor, this is for them.

Works for every role in the stack. No prior DNS knowledge required — but it definitely helps.

The print is big. Genuinely, refreshingly, comfortably big. After years of squinting at terminal windows, stack traces, and API docs formatted for ants — here's a book that doesn't require you to reach for your reading glasses first. Accessible to everyone, including those with low vision.

  • Large enough to read without hunting for your glasses first
  • Accessible to readers with low vision — no magnifying glass required
  • Perfect for dim server rooms, break rooms, or anywhere with bad overhead lighting
  • A physical book — no notifications, no dark mode toggle, no squinting at a tiny phone screen
  • Great for anyone whose eyes have paid dues across decades of screen time
