Day 2 of 30 Days of Blogging


Yesterday marked the 2nd day of blogging for the bloggers and where do we stand? Let’s check the netvibes universe and see…

Well, looks like I have to read Jake’s post last…

John takes us into the universe of Wordpress again with a focus on paid themes. He’s done some cool stuff with the Revolution theme so far, including Video Game Dude and a site for his Massage Therapist. There’s a third Revolution based site in the works, and I’m glad say that I’ll be working with him on it. It is going to be one of the coolest Rev sites you’ve seen!

Less exciting is my blast to the past with my soliloquy about past, present, and future of Nokia. My intentions were to make a brief update, but I ended up with a feature piece that made everyone’s eye-rolling audible from half way around the country! Heh, oops.

Ruh roh, 408Down gets a sad trombone.

My shirtwatch gets a DOUBLE sad trombone. I decided to pull it from the challenge since I plan on relaunching it on Jan 1. With prizes! (Guess what I’m giving away: it’s not pants!)

When it comes to daily blogging, Jessi is getting the job done! Hey it is postworthy too, with her find of Burda in her mailbox, and mostly because she discovered that Minnesota is full of passive aggressives. As if she didn’t get enough passive aggressive sightings in Utah!

Geof-eff-eff reports that Black Friday was indeed a success in the retail sector. Cool, I guess. But he neglects to mention that the 2% rise in sales only cost retailers 3 human lives this year. They blame the economy. Yay America. sad trombone (for retailers, not Geoff. Good job Geoff!)

You know someone is doing some heavy reading when you have to choke through their titles of their reading list. Such is James. His reading list reads as if it came straight out of the Encyclopedia of Philosophy. I still have “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” on my bookshelf.

MoneyRemix gives us some tips on how to fly home for the holidays on the cheap. Driving may be a better option now that gas is cheap (I think they watered it down). USAirways still charges you $15 for bringing luggage and $2 for an onboard Coke!

And now back to Jake. Damnit Jake (new nickname) posted 29 years worth of toys and now I’m googling Micro Machines and M.U.S.C.L.E. men. He said something about twitter too, but somehow I lost my interest. Oooo, ebay!

QUICK UPDATE: OOPS! 408Down DID post yesterday about the challenge (of all things)! When I wrote this post, the RSS feed from Netvibes didn’t update. Trust me, the last thing I want to do is piss of a chick who carries boxing gloves, shooting targets, and I’m sure a gun (probably a 30 out 6) around in her car. Sorry Sarah! I’ll be sure to manually refresh the feeds for my recap tomorrow!

    Jay - re the recco’d reading list link - the gem in the list isn’t philosophy related… it’s comedy. right up your alley. if you’ve not read it… do. I laugh just thinking back to how hard it made me laugh:

    I remember you and John laughing about Lamb last year. Still haven’t dived into it.

    Your whole list looked awesome. I added Lamb, Liar’s Poker, Sperm Wars, and Letters from a Stoic to my “must read” and “SOON!” lists!

    The others were added to, but they fell in the “after I become like Rain Man” file.

    Speaking of must reads, your boy Tim Ferris has a new TV show coming out TODAY. I read his 4-hour book. Awesome. This show looks like the book in practice. More awesome!

    sadly, i’ll have to wait for the itunes version - i don’t get history channel. don’t get much TV actually - between work and a new kid!

    the internet is my entertainment medium of choice!

    [...] friend recently posted a note that he found my reading list a bit… heavy.  I can understand that comment - the authors [...]
