No Need to Write Anything

summer romances
summer songs

Basil the code-writing donkey.

Commercials Cause Link Leaks on Comments Night!

August 30, 2006 by Liz

Branded with Link Leak Virus

Choosy mothers may choose Jif and choosy kids may choose Skippy, but choosy commenter chose Open Comment Nights again Tuesday Night This week. We conquered our fear of “a word from our sponsor” and took on commercial interruptions of our own. But commerical are not only irritating, they also spread viruses — the evil/good link leak virus left us leaving links. The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. We didn’t seem to mind though.

Chris seemed to have recovered from his visit from Basil and his pod experience.

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

Cool links were shared.

And Now a Word From Our

A word from our attendees . . . we didn’t invite sponsors.

Cartoon Characters, Leaking Links, New Folks, and Chris???

August 23, 2006 by Liz

Chris Says He Wasn’t Abducted

Cartoon characters are party animals, and they attract the best kind of party goers. Memories of characters that filled up our lives lasted the entire conversation. And, as usual, the Link Leak virus hit again. The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes. We didn’t seem to mind though.

Chris was back from his alien abduction, but he was acting a little strangely. I can’t say exactly how because my DSL went. That meant I had to play via dial-up, so my perceptions were markedly slow.

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

Cool links were shared.
