Day 2 of 30 Days of Blogging

Dec 3, 2008 30 Days 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!

30 Days of Blogging, 1 down 29 to go!

Dec 2, 2008 30 Days Blogging

The first day of 30 Days of Blogging is over and the results are in: people are blogging. That’s FOX NEWS kind of news!

Before I start though, take a quick look at the public page I created on Netvibes for this challenge. Pretty cool, huh? Ok, now here I go…

James and his wife were so excited about the challenge that they had a baby! Wow, way to kick things off James! Ok, so the baby girl is a couple of weeks old, but it sure is a great way to start a month of writing!

When not crafting cool handbags, Jessi uses her blog as light therapy. For her real issues, I’m sure she uses her fake facebook account. C’mon Jess, share the juicy stuff!

408Down uses blogspot as therapy too! In yesterday’s post she admits to seeing a recent New Kids concert. Not only that, but it sounds like she got in a drunk fight too. Ok, that would have been a cool concert to start a fight at.

Sweet news: John is taking requests. He kicks off the challenge with his can’t-live-without-wordpress-plugins list. I like plugins. I like them a lot.

Geoff writes about a company attempting to spread the retail black-weekend to 5(!) days. Mobile Tuesday? For real? Yawn. I think I consider this a fail since the first time I heard about it is from Geoff, and Tuesday is pretty much over. I like Geoff’s other post about his soon-to-be new toy: Western Digital – WD HD TV Media Player.

While reading Jake’s post about always on internet, my ADD kicked in as soon as he mentioned Hamster Dance! Whoa. That’s deep.

Pete gives sound advice for money management and budgeting during the holidays. Except that he advises to NOT tell your kids there is no Santa Claus this year. Oops, too late.

My attempt to revive shirtwatch already failed. I get sad trombone. But in all fairness I fell asleep at the keyboard last night. And to make up for it, I will feature two shirts today! But it is a failure nonetheless.

However, I rocked TJMS with announcing the 30 Day Bloggers Fight Club and in case anyone bitched about cheating by talking/blogging about fight club(cough cough, John!), I made a back up post about some contest that marketers would enjoy.

And I think…yup…that’s a wrap. Woo hoo!
