Open Mic Wrap-up: Inside Our Computers . . .

Guess What We Discovered!

Along with the memory and hard drives, there are pages of email, novels, spam, dust-bunnies, stars, nebula, water, poetry and music made from words that all live inside our computers.

If you’re in the market to purchase, will it be HP, Dell or Toshiba and laptop or desktop? The price of monitors is low but do you want a 17″, 19″ or 22″ and is it better to build your own or unpack and go? Maybe go with what you want and need and don’t worry too much about the brand.

There might have been more talk about music, health, tap dancing, weather, dessert, SAHDs, trips, acronyms, karaoke, disco, coffee, movies, cleaning, company, MTV, Akismet, widgets, walking, and family than computers. And of course, we shared Klondike Bars and poetry.

Here’s some of the links we shared:

Special thanks to Joe for holding the fort down when I couldn’t be here at the beginning. You’re my hero! And a special apology to Robert and Steven — I’m sorry I didn’t close down the announcement post. I hate it when I do that!

Thanks to everyone for the cool links and for being part of the conversation. Bring more links next week and we’ll post them again. I wish I could quote you all, but I know you have an idea of how much time it takes.

So, for 2007, we’ll just tell the story and share the links that you bring.

After all, how DO YOU explain Open Comment Night, if you’ve never experienced it?

See you next Tuesday? We sure hope so.

    Hey Liz,
    It was my pleasure, that’s what friends are for.
    I don’t know how you do it week after week, keeping up with everyone was a real challenge. ;-) But fun… :-)

    Hi Joe!
    It is a challenge, isn’t it? Somehow I manage to muddle through it all. Not that I always know what I’m talking about. . . . :)

    [...] SuccessCREEations - Apart from the fact that Chris always brings the Klondike Bars to Liz’s Open Comment Night, his blog is definitely worthy of subscription. The positives: thought-provoking posts relating to blogging and business; everything in its place - all his sidebar content is neatly organized and contained; and he has a video of the news coverage from the Blog Savannah event - you must watch it!
