Michael Barrish is a genius. Not only are his posts thoughtful, a little too personal, and well-written, but he throws in great pearls of wisdom like, "
Women like it when you are passionate about something—
even beer nuts."
So, that
demo thing I did last week? I did it again, only this time in front of about three hundred co-workers. I was way more nervous this time than I was last week. Maybe it's because I knew a lot of the crowd. Maybe it's because I was all alone up there with a mike. Maybe it's because I only found out about it an hour before it happened and had nothing prepared (in true "wingin' it style").
I think I did a good job explaining blogging to a bunch of folks who've never seen one. Well, honestly, other than getting a couple laughs, I honestly have no memory of what I said.

You can use Textile formatting in your comments (but no HTML). Here's a quick cheatsheet:
- Bold text: *this will be bold*. but this isn't.
- Italics: _this will be in italics_, this won't.
- Links: "link text":http://url.com
- If you know the rest, go for it.
