What does blogging do for you?
Submitted by Madeleine Rose.
It provides a means for me to record important events/milestones, as well as a forum for discussing things of interest to me or current events. I've recently been very busy with microblogging on sites like Twitter, Pownce and Plurk!, which I admit take time away from regular blogging.
How are you celebrating the 4th of July?
Spending day with family BBQing and having good time. We'll watch the neighbors fireworks, many of them have bought illegal stuff, and keeping an eye on the house! Sad but true.
I'll never understand why others are so eager and willing to take enormous risks with illegal fireworks, especially with all the fires Californians have experienced throughout the state in 2008 alone.
Although almost every day at Six Apart is Take Your Dog to Work Day, Friday was extra special because it was the official Take Your Dog to Work Day! Plus, as lovers of blogs and animals, we think it's great that active blogger and Human Society's President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, thinks having dogs around the office is a good reminder of "who we're working for."
We realize some people have it ruff and aren't lucky enough to be able to bring their dog to work, but hopefully these pictures taken at Six Apart last Friday will get your tails wagging... And let me tell you, it's harder than it looks to get all the doggies and their fetching owners in one picture.
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, today is the summer solstice. For ancient civilizations, this day was akin to our modern day New Year's Eve and was viewed as a time to reflect and renew. So why not kick off your summer celebration with a new theme?
