Link Leak and Lists — Say that Fast!

December 6, 2006 by Liz

Listening to our Lists

This time of the year, we’re all so innundated with things to do. Many of us make lists and other folks make lists for us. We talked about all kinds of them and what we think about them. Tuesday Open Comments Night was a list of lists.

The Link Leak Virus was with us as well. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes and keeps Open Comment Night a link free-for-all.

Welcome to every person who came — all of you are on my list of favorite people in the blogosphere.

Cool links were shared. Here’s a list of them.

  • A New Novel
  • JeJune Jumpers
  • Dullest Blog in the World
  • Robot Wisdom
  • HD Bet Blog
  • Char’s Casual Keystrokes About Page
  • Top Ten Best Blogs for Writers
  • Great Use of Text Messaging for Charity
  • WordPress dTree Plugin
  • Top Ten Signs of Blog Addiction
  • Lots of information on Web 2.0
  • 10 Business Podcast Marketing Ideas
  • Startup Spark
  • Great Big Small Business Show
  • Thriving Office (requires ActiveX)

Twisting the Listing by Rick Cockrum

A list of lists is what you missed
If you weren’t here for last night’s tryst
Bloggers from around the globe
Tipped their hats to those they know
Newfound friends came out to play
As we all had our say

Joe was first as he tries to be
Making lists of what he’d see
Liz the ever gracious host
Watched neighbors list what they loved most.
Scorpia panned the creation of lists
Stultifying shells to block her bliss
John T Unger sat a spell
But Typelists’ called sounded his knell
Carolyn said she loves lists
She may explain to a therapist
Valeria came for the first time
Lists for her, harness the mind
Delphine, too, was also new
Lists for her keep things to do
Trisha stopped just to say hi
To her lists she says goodbye
Chris is in a frigid clime
But with Klondike’s he’s doing fine
Derek came, proud to say
His new blog layout makes him say Yay!
Vaspers returned, with his unique sound
Bearing links and quips, and links round rou….
Char says she’s a lover of lists
For holding her thoughs so life she won’t miss
Roger surveyed the list on their blog writing time
Was he making a list? I gave him mine
Ben stopped in. We gave him pink slippers
And promised him links if he’d just send us pictures
Cat is busy, preparing to fly
To England for Christmas – now she’s lacking time
Shopping lists are popular at this time of year
Meikah really does hope the list of bills disappears
Christine (she’s a P) doesn’t follow her lists
Resolutions are out, but a year’s word can bring bliss
Rodney just joined the BAD blogger club

For Starbucker ice cream supplied the true grist
For a mouth-watering, luscious, flavorful list.
Tony felt bad that he came so late
John R brought books, a list that was great
Troy Worman said hi, Jeff Brown was alone
Douglas winged in and back out on his own
Jessica’s list gave us food, not just a bone
And 1-800 HART said a last hi from his unique time zone.
David said he’s from Chicago.
Liz said they’d have to meet in town.

As Joe said in his great rendition of Rudolph
And the end of the year comes once more to be
With lists like this
You’ll go down in history!

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.

A Future Leaking with Links and Good Things!

November 30, 2006 by Liz

In Due Time

It took me a day or so to get back from the future. I had set down my crystal ball there and I had to find it before it fell into evil hands. Never know when a wicked witch of OZ will show up to cause trouble But finally here I am to report back in again.

Tuesday Open Comments Night, this week had us predicting. We looked into the crystal ball to foretell our future. We weren’t sure about the part that involved fame and fortune, but we felt certain our blogging friendships would continue on.

And of course our relationship with the Link Leak Virus will be with us as well. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes will keep Open Comment Night a link free-for-all.

Welcome to every person who came, all of you fortune tellers are my favorite people in the universe.

Cool links were shared to last for the future.

  • Llewellyn’s Web Tarot
  • Sharkey’s Amazing Card Trick
  • Dating Sexual Consent Form
  • HART-o-scope

Back from the Future — rewind

It was November 29th, 2006 at 9:38 am already when Mike stopped by to say that he read the leaves in his tea.
They said a strange friend would send a message or a strange message from a friend would be coming to me.

Cat, who was wiped out from a hard day of meetings,
left us with a pile of future greeting.

Ah Pek says in his country they rely on the power of a medium to find out whether their future only holds only boredom and tedium. (Fortune must not have given him a nod for he ran off saying “Oh my God!”

In comments 205 – 211, Becky McCray read my palm with grace, poise and calm. She found details in the lines and revealed the secrets of time. She also left a last card for the crew, read it to hear the fortune for all of you.

1-800 HART made sure that we understand the tarot death card. People misunderstand it, when it comes up and take its appearance hard. He also brought a card trick — many like this are about. If you think on it you can figure it out


Joe
was looking for a card trick we shared some time back, but it apparently has been by two kids in the rack. He left on a his poetic note. It’s fun to know we’ll soon have a whole book of modern day Berma Shave poems that Joe wrote.

Char wondered aloud about her future potential breaking out. Liz started asking what Char wanted her future to be about. Liz finally realize that there was a confusion. Liz had been talking reality and Char had been playing along with the crystal ball illusion.

Sheila Scarborough came filled with accomplishment of having finally cleared a garage for the cars. So she had time to spend charting a future in the stars.

Service Untitled – Douglas popped in and out in his usual MO. I think he was taking notes on how all of our futures were set to go.

Sean alluded to being rich from a major deal with paypal. Could he have some traits in common with Chicago Al?

Rick Cockrum knows where to go for the latest in future information. I wonder whether he’s up for a giving a presentation.

Renée seemed quite pleased with her future predictions. She’s bringing them home to Tall, (soon to be ) dark, and handsome.

Carolyn Manning isn’t afraid of ghosts or philosophy. Her handwriting reader told her things. “No one would know unless he grew up with me.”

Chris Cree doesn’t want to know his future, but then he made his future to be saying that he didn’t want to know his future.

Sasha Manuel doesn’t find it hard to tell a future with an ordinary deck of playing cards.

Ben Yoskovitz has so much going on these days. You can bet that his future will be about change.

Marti believes in ghosts and so do many. Her new book about the paranormal is better than any.

Trisha is read to start a new future with good things going on, especially no pain. But mostly she wants to be happy.

I’m with her on that. Happy is a good thing to be.
