The Mic Is on at the Neighborhood Hangout

August 8, 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.

Tonight we’re hanging out!

We might also talk about

The people we meet
The places we where we used to hang out
The weirdest hangouts
The crazy people in them

AND THE EVER POPULAR,

Basil the code-writing donkey.

OZ Is Hit with Link Leak Virus

August 2, 2006 by Liz

Tueday Comment Night in OZ

Open Comments was held in OZ last night. The conversation opened with a musical number and went from black and white to color in a matter of two comments. At some point in the wild forest, the flying monkeys dropped the evil link leak virus on the fair citizens of Successful Blog. Perhaps it was as we traveled through the poppy fields right before the Emerald City. Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes edged its way in.

Cool links were shared.
