The Mic Is On and It’s a Thank-You Party!

November 21, 2006 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

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.

Tonight it’s about saying thanks to the world and each other!

We might also talk about

people we know who’ve done cool stuff
books, movies, songs that made a difference
things that make us glad that we’re alive
all things we appreciate

AND THE EVER POPULAR,
Basil the code-writing donkey, and Milton the Moose.

Successful and Outstanding Bloggers

Let me introduce the bloggers

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 all of our SOBs for thinking what we say is worth passing on.
Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

Links Leaking All Over Time!

November 15, 2006 by Liz

In Due Time

We went exploring and some could say we got lost in time at Tuesday Open Comments Night, last night. We were set on going forward in time until Renée mentioned going back and then back was the favorite way to go.

The Link Leak Virus apparently crosses time as well as space. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes at Open Comment Night they become a link free-for-all.

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

Cool links were shared time after time.

A Good Time Was Had . . . By All

Trisha would rather explore with the Doctor than Dora. She figures that traveling to the past to visit would be fun, but she wouldnÃ¢â¬â¢t want to live there.
BJ would rather go forward than backward — can’t live without the Internet. She was also heard saying My bedroom has been taken over by aliens. I collect vintage SciFi. I think I have every time travel paradox that exists ensconsed on one of my bookshelves.

Doug launched which isn’t the same as exploring, but it seems that way,
and it went well enough with the top secret project SeanRox was working on.

Robert Bruce would be dead by 3 days old from disease, late 1800Ã¢â¬â¢s American frontier. You know, Smith and Wesson on the hip, 12 gauge on the saddle.
katiebird would like to travel to the future as long as she could come back here to visitÃ¢â¬Â¦.
Char doesn’t think she could go back too many years in time – what would I do with out the Internet?

Rick is set for the future because it would be bad losing toilet paper and toothpaste, and various other things we take for granted. He knew what he was talking about — I go with the Many Worlds Theory, Joe, so I think you already did it and it created another world. Look at that! You get to be a murderer and a god at the same time.

Renée had a reason to go back in time — The first place/people I want to go is my maternal great grandma era. . . . I would like spent a few months with her, learn those skills she had cultivated.

Ben was traveling by train and his train didn’t give him much time to stay.

Starbucker was exploring musical moments in history — when the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show. All those screaming kids – wow.
Cat provided the recipe for how to break your toe in no time at all.

Meikah asked a question which got a new conversation going — Wonder who I was in my past life?
Joe asked another and had his own answer — Why does everyone want to go into the past?
I would rather be Ã¢â¬ÅBuck Rogers in the 25th CenturyÃ¢â¬Â.

Mike thought he had Joe with this comment — Having lived my whole life in the past, I can say with some surety that itÃ¢â¬â¢s overrated. — He was just kidding.
Chris thinks he’d like to go have a chat with some of the American revolutionaries.

Leon thought the mixing of comments was time travel fun.
Carolyn thought she should reset her clock.
Delaney went back in real time to see Pink Floyd.
Ah Pek was looking for a flashlight to go exploring.

Hans showed up some time past bedtime for me.

And the rest is history.
