in Good Words Needed for Badges, Best Ideas Win on Chuck Westbrook's Blog
This is "write" up my alley. I'll give it thought all day long. I liked Jen's suggestion. It's concise and well said.

in Bidding Adieu to FeverBee on Chuck Westbrook's Blog
Diesel: It's about giving the hidden gems of the blogosphere the shine they need. Every two weeks, Chuck features a new blog that everybody follows for two weeks, thereby giving them a fresh audience that they wouldn't have had otherwise. Simple genius.

in Previewing the Next Blog on Chuck Westbrook's Blog
This sounds great, Chuck. A quality blogger without a niche who gets only fifteen hits per day; sounds like exactly the kind of blogger that's perfect for this experiment.

The girl = Most integrity. She did what she had to do.

The captain = Least integrity. Jerk. Just fix the boat, A-hole.

The boy = GET OVER IT - she was trying to get back to YOU.

I loved how fast you went from brainstorm to whirlwind, knowing it would get better as it went along. All according to plan.

Feverbee sounds great (and with a cool name to boot). I loved Zoe's blog, and can't wait to add this one to the reader. I'm on my way.

in Are you a storyteller? What is your story? on The Thinkmaya Blog
Can I just tell you I'm smiling ear to ear. You gave Lucas the credit, and that is not only awesome, but a total validation of the story. Awesome, Maya.

in Exciting News and Help Wanted on Chuck Westbrook's Blog
You deserve ALL the praise, Chuck, as well as the readers who made it happen. These all sound like great suggestions, and I'm sure this ball's just starting to roll. Oktober 5 is awesome, and that's funny about your avatar, because the first time I saw it, it reminded me of him.
1 reply
Chuck Westbrook Thanks, WD. We'll see whether the ball does get rolling faster. At the moment, I think it could very well do that, or it could slow down as the excitement over the initial idea fades. I'm hoping for the former!

in Introducing Zoë Westhof and “Essential Prose” on Chuck Westbrook's Blog
Again Chuck, wonderful idea. I've already added Zoe to the reader, and I'm on my way over there now. Seems like an excellent first choice (4 languages... wow!)

Chuck Thanks, WD. I think she's very sharp. And by the way, I used your blog as an example of a nicely done long-form blog when she and I spoke the other night.

in Virtual Pat on the Back on Angela Maiers Educational Svcs
I don't know exactly, but I have a lot of thoughts. I'm thinking about writing something long, with a lot of unbroken thought, then splicing it into separate posts, and running it for a week. I do plan on plundering your archives first. I look at the headlines and I feel like I'm combing my wife's journals. Basically, I think our federal education is abysmal. We're teaching, essentially, the same way we have for decades and it isn't nearly enough. If we want to maintain our global position, then we need to be working a lot smarter. Too many teachers are teaching for a paycheck, so on and so forth for like five-thousand words.

Thanks Angela, that's a really nice thing to say. I have yet to truly dig in to the amazing resource of your site (time is my best friend and ultimate foe). It seems that we see eye to eye on many things. I'll be doing a series of posts on education in a few weeks. I have some things to say that are not terribly kind. I hope that you still like me when it's all over.

AngelaMaiers Writer Dad-Of course I will! I am certainly not content with the state of education today, nor should any teacher or parent be.

You really have my interest peaked? What issues are you exploring-I would love to be involved in the conversations!
