It has come to our attention that:
a.) our last post title offended some people, and..
b.) we haven’t posted since last year. (How lame.)
While we realize that some people are more sensitive than others, last year was only 4 days ago, and that blogging is more an art than a science – it’s still been about 2 weeks since our last post and we wouldn’t doing our job if we didn’t offend someone.
So, what better way to ring in the new year offensively than with – what else, a blogging unconference. Lots of people who love being pithy and the sound of their own digital voice … all in one room. It’s like a little slice of cool nerd heaven.
BlogSavannah, baby!
Last year (check out some fun videos) was the first year for BlogSavannah. Spearheaded by Drew Odom, co-sponsored by us (go us) and SavannahNow, BlogSavannah was a resounding-if-not-chaotic good time. Needless to say (now one year later) we’ve learned some lessons, polished our style, and started a relatively successful blog of our own.
Which brings us to this year. The BlogSavannah UnConference is back for 2008. Booya. This year weâll be at Armstrong Atlantic State Universityâs new Center for Professional & Continuing Education on Friday, January 25th.
So sign up already. It’ll be a whacky good time. You a blogger? You should be there. You read blogs and are interested in the medium? You should be there. You want to meet other cool nerds? You should be there. Really. It’s fun.
We’ll prove it…check out a recap of last year’s shenanigans (courtesy of our buddies at Paragon.)
Hot diggety-damn. Bring on the uncon.
Fitz, you know you’re doing something right when you offend people. Especially social conservatives.
I’m just curious; what, exactly, was the basis for these complaints?
I believe it was the “Merry #$@%ing Christmas” part.
I probably should have said, “Merry #$@%ing Festivus.” (For the rest of us.)
There are people on both ends of the political, fiscal, and social spectra who are always looking for a reason to get offended. It’s kind and proper to show respect for things that others respect, even if you don’t believe as they do, but if someone is truly a Bible reader (as I assume those offended are), then he must recognize that God gave us all the freedom of choice. Who are we to presume to take that away?
I prefer “Merry #$@%ing Wives of Windsor”. I only know a couple lit profs who may take offense at that one.
Ha, (non-offensively) Amen to that!
Merry #$@%ing Wives of Windsor!!!!
Lucas, you never disappoint my man…I love it. You might be up for the “Commenter of the Year Award.” Wives of Windsor it is.
Also, a correction. Angel very sternly pointed out that “Booya” (4th paragraph, line 2) is spelled with a hyphen. (“Boo-ya.”) My apologies to Stuart Scott and Jim Cramer.
Fitz-
Since I can’t find any posting about it otherwise-
Congrats on the Business Journal’s 40 under 40!
Oh wow, thanks Chad. Much appreciated!!! :)
