    Happy Birthday~

    fromme-toyou:

    Today is my Birthday. I feel really lucky this year. I have met and made friends with some wonderful people, I have a fulfilling and rich home life that I say thanks for everyday, and I have the best family back home in Texas a girl could wish for. I am supported, loved and cherished and though I can’t imagine being any happier than I am now, I truly believe the best is yet to come. Thanks to everyone- Family, friends, co-workers, strangers, and future acquaintances for coming to my blog everyday looking at my work and leaving those marvelous comments. Here’s to us all~

    PS- We made my birthday cake last night to start off today with (breakfast of champions or birthday girls). I’ve been waiting months after seeing this confetti cake post on Dessert Girl!

    Oh.. and.. Today is Texas Independence Day. That’s right- more Texas love!

    Jamie is so amazing and inspirational. Happy Birthday!

    A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27, for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion trillion). For instance: ‘the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at 0.3 hellawatts.’ It would also come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic and US national debt.

    I don’t want to live in a world where this doesn’t happen.

    Awesome!

    Innovation - Giving Birth to a Startup

    OK, OK, this is it man. Our long term business goal: OWN THE INTERNET PHOTO EDITING MARKET. I think we can do this.

    I love this post of the email exchange between Mike and Darrin, the two founders of Picnik, when they hit upon the idea of doing an online photo editor.

    Read

    Worthwhile read.

    So, what’s the formula for a blog that actually generates leads, sales, and business success? I didn’t even understand it myself until last year at the Business of Software conference, when one of the speakers, a well-known game developer and author named Kathy Sierra, blew me away with an incredibly simple idea that explains why my blog successfully promoted my company while so many other blogging founders foundered.

    To really work, Sierra observed, an entrepreneur’s blog has to be about something bigger than his or her company and his or her product. This sounds simple, but it isn’t. It takes real discipline to not talk about yourself and your company. Blogging as a medium seems so personal, and often it is. But when you’re using a blog to promote a business, that blog can’t be about you, Sierra said. It has to be about your readers, who will, it’s hoped, become your customers. It has to be about making them awesome.

    Bit.ly Pro, the branded short links for professional publishers and brands, is also “on fire,” he says. There was so much demand for the product that bit.ly had to close the beta 72 hours after launch. The startup is going through and provisioning the 5,000 companies who signed up in that period. Current bit.ly Pro beta customers include the New York Times (http://nyti.ms), TechCrunch (http://tcrn.ch), ABC, NBC, CBS, MTV, Fox, PBS, Dow Jones, Foursquare, Pepsi, the Gap, the Olympics, and about 100 of the Fortune 500.

    URL Shorteners are invaluable for publishers that push content into social networks and have a good brand. Not shocking to see that so many F500 brands want a short url.

    Weird.

    Clicking “reblog post” from the reblog screen does nothing except reload the reblog screen.

    I’m using Chrome on Mac, so who knows. Anyone else seeing this?

Our very own Kyle has a cool new community for hackers and designers who actually build stuff. If you’re someone like that, ask him for an invite (or ask me and I’ll pass it along).

In case anyone was wondering, this is the Elliott Bay Book Co., here in Seattle. It’s also moving from this location, after 36 years, to Capitol Hill sometime this month.

Kind of sad that it’s changing location after so long, especially as it’s linked to Pioneer Square in the minds of most Seattle-ites. I also don’t know what could ever hope to replace the store in that location in Pioneer Square. That’s a tough act to follow.
However: Sweet, this means it’ll be within walking distance from me, which means I’ll probably go there more often than I do now.
On the other hand: *Looks at wallet* Crap, this means it’ll be within walking distance from me, which means I’ll probably go there more often than I do now.

Wow, I can’t believe they are moving. They are Pioneer Square.
FYI Seattle folks: I’ll be in town 3/17 - 3/21. Who wants to meet up??
