Congratulations Are In Order

To Marty Schwimmer, for the one year anniversary of the preeminent Trademark Blog.

To Frank Paynter, for the resumption of his dance-this-mess-around interview series, this time with Ryan Irelan.

To Doc (more, yet more, even more), Dave, Scoble and Professor Lessig for writing brilliantly lately about transparency, competition, and how coming to the party might just score you a tastier slice of cake.

To Chris Locke, for elucidating matters of HTML and haute cuisine.

To the ladybug who even now is gamely ascending the exterior face of my thirtieth-story window without the aid of oxygen or crampons. (Matthew Weathers has some lovely photos of the challenging terrain.)
