Happy Birthday Me
Jun 30th
I’m currently in the air to Romania (posted this yesterday). It’s odd to wish myself a happy birthday I guess, but who cares. It’s been a great year, with an even better one ahead. I’ve had an incredible blast, so this birthday to me is really a thank you to all the great people in my life.
From the folk in St. Stephen like Dan, Anita, Peter, Mary-Ellen, Walter, Carol, Jeff, Matt and all the musicians.
To friends at b5 like Darren, Duncan, Shai, CJ, Aaron, Ingrid, Jonic, Tim, Hsien, Cory and all the awesome bloggers, partners and behind-the-curtain folk.
To people in blogging like Marc, Todd, Jeff, Sam, Tony, Andrea and all of the folk who inspire me every day.
All the way around to just general awesome people in my life like Shannon, Evan, Alex, Papa, Mom, Jake, Will (deceased), Ben, Ben, Pudd, Thomas and everyone else who makes me smile everyday.
While it’s my birthday, my life is worth living largely thanks to all of you. So thank you!
Romania Tomorrow
Jun 29th
I’m so looking forward to this trip. I have 3 of 4 sessions ready, passport all done and I’m just about ready to think about prepping to start packing, heh.
It’s a long trip (almost 18 hours), but I’m very much looking forward to meeting everyone and chatting with Romania bloggers, business people and marketers about what blogging means for them (ie: I’m not going there with all the answers, mainly to fuel discussion).
Back on the 6th, in case I don’t blog while in Romania!

Just a quick video illustrating why I prefer IE7′s tab interface to FireFox’s. Click through to see the video (too big for main page).
Google Checkout Quits
Jun 29th
I decided to give Google Checkout a shot. Signed up, got all set (pretty quickly, well done Google). Headed over to Buy.com. Saw this laptop and thought that if it worked it’d be a nice buy.
Added it to my cart. Clicked “Proceed to Checkout”. Clicked to go to Google Checkout. And…

Yuh-huh. Nice. And, no, this isn’t in Beta so no excuses this time.
