Open Mic at 7pm Chicago Time — Bring Your Toys!

July 18, 2006 by Liz

It’s about Toys of the Century!

Personal Branding logo

YES, the mike 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.

We met lots of new friends last week as we always do. If you missed it, stop by this week, and it’s your turn to come.

Tonight we talk about toys.

Here’s a link to the Toys of the Century.

We might also talk about

  • crayons and legos.
  • transformers
  • sandboxes and sand castles.
  • The Where is Basil Contest?

AND THE EVER POPULAR,

What ever happened to the drinking moose and his friend the pig?

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.

And we’ll be on the beach in Portugal.

Taken Over by Pirates

July 12, 2006 by Liz

Successful Blog Was Take Over by Pirates

Last Nights’ Open Comments Night get together in at sea found that our ship was taken over by pirates and we ended up living off grog, and weevils, supplemented by a few oranges and limes to keep us all from getting scurvy. Unfortunately a virulent strain of the infamous link leak virus. Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes.
Cool links were shared.
