Can You Hear Me Now?

Personal Branding logo

YES, the mic will be open again tonight. So start collecting your thoughts. Remember, you get to bring what you want to talk about.

The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about.

Tonight we’re talking about our favorite commercials!

We might also talk about

  • Why choosy mothers used to choose Jif
  • The Geico Gekko and the Taco Bell Chihuahua
  • Fed Ex and cell phones
  • What were Fizzies?

AND THE EVER POPULAR,

Basil the code-writing donkey.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.

Bring your loony tune friends with you!

Cartoon Characters, Leaking Links, New Folks, and Chris???

August 23, 2006 by Liz

Chris Says He Wasn’t Abducted

Cartoon characters are party animals, and they attract the best kind of party goers. Memories of characters that filled up our lives lasted the entire conversation. And, as usual, the Link Leak virus hit again. The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. We didn’t seem to mind though.

Chris was back from his alien abduction, but he was acting a little strangely. I can’t say exactly how because my DSL went. That meant I had to play via dial-up, so my perceptions were markedly slow.

Welcome to all of the new folks who came. It was great fun having you!
