DISQUS

My dogs would enjoy being walked at the faster pace a skateboarding walker would give them. When I walk them as a group (I own three), they always try to go juuuust a little to fast for me. If I could skateboard, I would totally skateboard-walk them.

I vote cool!

"Thanks Jennifer for the tip!"

Pun?!

Fire spinning? Your family gatherings kick Blatt family gatherings ass.

Thanks for the run-down. Now I want one.

It makes me CRAZY that my followers and people I'm not following aren't in alphabetical order.

and the last four have been iPhone photos. But that's ok. One is of me!

i love her hair!

fun! good luck! I loved the tour.

They also didn't take into account the fact that a lot of that room is movies from people's home collections, audio books, and podcasts.

my girlfriends and i are all nuts about this guy. i really want the one of the girl playing with the paper airplane that he has.

I'm trying SO hard to walk the line between not being "that guy" and not ignoring Twitter as a tool for promoting blog readership.

One thing I'm trying to do is @ hello new followers on Twitter.

I was totally wrong. "Just Dance" is by Lady GaGa.

Lekker!

B, I would guess. I'm responsible with MY money, so as long as I wasn't planning to sell soon after, why not buy?

We made one this weekend!

On my prop styling post, Kristan (sp?) linked instructions from another website. I had them tucked away, but Rob beat me to it, and found instructions using stuff we got at IKEA. It's really cool, and studier and less complicated than either Kristan's (which used a cardboard box) or the one you linked to using foam.

I'm not sure where he got the instructions, but the photos are great. The draw back would be that it's a little bit more time consuming to take down after you're done using it, but not even that bad, and we happen to have the space to leave it set up anyway.

I'll post the instructions later this week. Check out this can of Brawndo on Rob's flickr.

I will, Nichelle!

Thanks Chad! I have a feeling the logo is going to stick. Kind of like how you name a cat Bra and THEN try to figure out a cool name for him...

I did notice, but I didn't think it was significant. You're right! That would eliminate shadows.

Yup. My new Facebook rule is "people I have hugged, or totally would" only. It has my last name attached, and I like keeping that private. MySpace is my VCR, too. Everything else is connected to my blog.

Awesome! I sound like a total nerd.

No, Chaz. I'm pretty comfortable with you being the only human being on the planet that heard that.

Ha! I knew what you meant :)

To answer your question, we're still figuring it out. I'll let you know, though! It would be awesome to see you.

Our weekend was amazing. It was (half)-jokingly described as the "Woodstock of the Internet".

It wasn't about networking or marketing, it was about fortifying friendships between people who like to keep in contact via social media. We had amazing conversations that had nothing to do with the internet, there were no "sessions", and we all got to know one another as people. The first one was at my apartment in New York City, Tracy held the next one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the next one will be a gathering of people at SXSW.

We all pitched in, buying groceries, cleaning, baking, cooking, organizing field trips, etc. It was awesome. You should come!

that's me in the photo, all the way to the right, squished up next to my husband.

There were moments in the weekend when we would all just kind of stop and look at each other and say, "I love you guys!" and hug each other. It was very Woodstock-ish! The weekend was amazing.

It's called Angry Camp, btw, because in Montreal I felt sort of left out; I'd never been to podcamp before, and all of these people were so into the internet and stuff but I really wasn't. I like to throw parties, though, so while everyone was in sessions, I rearranged my hotel suite (room 1405, which will live in infamy) and made some snacks. I kind of thought everyone would think it was lame that this new girl was throwing a party when all anyone wanted to do was hang out with their laptops, but everyone came, and we ended up having an AMAZING time. I can't tell you everything that happened there (what happens at Angry Camp...) but after that we were about as bonded as it gets. During the party Tracy said we should just get together for a Camp, so we could have fun, but no conference. I think we thought of a name like "Drinking Camp" or something, and then we said we would need sponsorships. "It needs to have more drama, then" Tracy said. "We should call it Angry Camp! Then people will sponsor it! We can have it in my basement!"


Something happened, though; we decided we couldn't wait until January, which is why we hosted one in New York. :)

You always inspire the longest comments from me!

maybe. i think the basement of our apartment has scary stuff in it. nearly everyone who spent the night here for a few days in November got really sick, and we always get sick after leaving and coming home.

the basement overflowed and it took them weeks to clean up. I wonder if I'm dealing with mega mold?

Do you still have pictures?! Email them!
