Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
Happy Birthday, Gary! Hope it’s a good one!
Cheers and best wishes,
Your friends at the Bullpen
G’head, it’s ma birfday!
Yesterday we did a historic thing. We generated 87,834 phone calls to U.S. Representatives in a concerted effort to protect the Internet. Extraordinary. There’s no doubt that we’ve been heard.
So just to keep you updated: The well-intentioned, but immensely flawed “Stop Online Piracy Act” is still in the House Judiciary Committee. The hearing was yesterday and now members will debate and bring amendments to the bill. The Committee will reconvene in a few weeks — the date has yet to be scheduled. Nothing has been brought to a final vote. Everything is still very much in play. We’ll keep you posted on what’s going on and what you can do to help. But for now, we want to thank you.
One encouraging thing we heard yesterday:
I don’t believe this bill has any chance on the House floor. I think it’s way too extreme, it infringes on too many areas that our leadership will know is simply too dangerous to do in its current form.
— Representative Darrell Issa
We also want to express our tremendous gratitude to our friends at Mobile Commons who, on 30 minutes notice, hooked us up with their amazing platform (and provided their expertise) to automatically connect callers with their Representatives.
Awesome sauce.
This photo is just full of WIN and AWESOME. Winawesome as I like to call it.

This was the moment this word was waiting for.
Pronounced SHOD-n-froy-duh. It’s a noun. Use it. Today!
Hooray! Of course, the best part is my mug shot on the “our team” page. Duh.
I am very excited to announce the launch of Business Bullpen 4.0. When Amanda Hughes came on board as our Creative Director in May, the website redesign was one of our top goals. In less than three months, she redesigned our logo and website. Graham did a great job, as usual, developing the site using HTML5 and integrating the Tumblr and Last.FM APIs.
This is just phase one of our redesign. We have a lot more planned that will be rolled out over time including a refresh of this blog. If you want to keep up to date with us, follow Business Bullpen on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, or subscribe to our blog via email or your favorite RSS reader.
