We can talk about getting new driver’s licenses, fun things to do at birthday parties, birthday presents we love, our favorite kinds of cake and ice cream, what it’s like when our birthday is near a holiday, and whatever else comes up.

Let me introduce the bloggers
who have earned this official badge of achievement,
I invite them to take a badge home to display on their blogs.
They take the conversation to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, make us better, and make our businesses stronger.
I thank every one of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.
Should anyone question this SOB button’s validity, send him or her directly to me. This award comes with a full “Liz said so” guarantee. It is endorsed by Kings of the Hemispheres, Martin and Michael, and backed by my brothers, Angelo and Pasquale.
If you’re an SO-Wanna-B, you can see the whole list of SOBs and learn how to be one by visiting the SOB Hall of Fame. Click the link or visit the What IS an SOB?! page in the sidebar.

It’s a fine way to spend a Saturday visiting some B. A. D. Bloggers I know. Without hesitation, these are folks who are worth getting to know. I can say that because I did.
HART’s mind works in mysterious ways. HART’s been around Successful-Blog longer than I have. He’s the man who said the now famous quote, Half the show is in the comments . . . to Paul Scrivens when Successful Blog had no comment feed. That was over 39,000 comments ago in November of 2005.
HART’s an entertaining storyteller and he’s got some entertaining stories to tell. Believe that. Few are about his work serving businesses as a finance man. HART doesn’t show off. His stories are about times when real-life things happened — the wheel flew off the car and went through the window of the biker bar. . . . or this one about why he was fired.
HARTs also Canadian citizen, who let me in on the secret that all Canadians know everyone, everywhere in the world, and that he is related personally to almost half of them.
When you see HART let him know that you’ve seen the bar stool with his name at Successful-Blog.
Everyone: HART!
Anita is from Missouri, and she has 45 Things to show you about the things that you do that drive your boss crazy.
You might wonder how a writer living in the “Show Me” state would know anything about what your boss thinks or what you do. I sort of wondered too — until I found out that she’s spent the last decade writing about the workplace for Gannett News Service and USAToday.com, winning awards and such. They say her readership is over 8 million daily. ahem.
Anita is plain fun to talk to. We covered the topics in her book, a few places we’d been, and some things we’d seen, The best part hands down is that she’s a delightful and charming conversationalist, who on that day was as sincerely interested in another person’s new book as much as she was in her own. No kidding.
By the way, if you meet her, her last name is pronounced ââ¬ÅBrew-ZEES.ââ¬Â
HART and Anita, you are B.A.D. Bloggers!

Want to be a B.A.D. Blogger see the. . . a B.A.D. Blogger? page in the sidebar.
A close friend in Chicago says my life sped up markedly the day I announced the B.A.D. Blogger program in November of 2006. Every day since then, I’ve had a conversation, person-to-person, with a blogger — at least one — four already today.
I used to write daily recaps of our conversations. Then well, I couldn’t keep up with the writing task, especially when work for SOBCon07 started happening. Yet I couldn’t give up starting new blogging relationships. Plenty of folks have found that a danger of an email request to my inbox is that they end up hearing my voice on their telephone or VoiP.
The bloggers I meet are too cool to keep them to myself, and you’re too cool not to know them. This time I’m expanding B.A.D. Blogger to include incredible folks I got to know
After all what’s a blog without the person who writes it? Celebrating bloggers is what the B.A.D. Blogger program was always about.
What fun to celebrate B.A.D. Bloggers again! Bloggers are incredible, interesting, unique, clever, cool, and generous people.
Let me introduce you.

Here’s how it works.
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.
The rules are simple — be nice.
There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.
Here’s a few ideas to get us started:
And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.
