Mobatta was kind enough to drop off the Free Crepe coupons they’d promised for tonight’s Mass Facebook Land-Grab:
The coupon cards are finished with a double-secret watermark to prevent copying, and should not be eaten (instead, give it to your cashier, who will provide you with a very edible and very-free sweet crepe).
See you tonight at 8:30.
Event: TweetUp Seattle! Mass Facebook Land-Grab At Uptown Espresso!
Date: Friday, June 12th 2009
Time: 8:30PM PST (or come a little early if you’d like and get your WiFi set-up!)
Where: Uptown Espresso (Belltown), 2504 4th Ave (4th and Wall), Seattle WA
Sponsored by:
On Friday, June 12th at 9:01PM PST, Facebook will open the floodgates and allow registered Facebook users to vie for coveted SEO real-estate: Facebook usernames. And Seattle is meeting up at an internet-traffic epicenter to ring in the occasion (1GB/s internet connection, 5 WiFi Access Points/APs). (Thanks goes out to Spectrum Networks for providing the superfast connection!).
Facebook usernames will look like this: facebook.com/yourusername, and they’ll be unimaginably important in the future when it comes to driving traffic to your profile, increasing accessibility to your profile, and building a personal brand.
Because thousands of people will attempt to grab their name at the same time, having the fastest and most direct internet connection will matter when it comes to connecting to Facebook’s servers during the deluge of traffic.
You’re invited to come early, grab a spot, get a nice cuppa joe (Uptown’s lattes and specifically their foam are legendary), chat with fellow Seattle geeks, and count down to Zero Hour with us! Bring friends and please re-blog and Re-Tweet this!
All attendees who can spot me (Cameron) at the event will receive a coupon for a free crepe from the fine folks at Mobatta!
Want to sponsor the event or promote your business/product to attendees? Contact me at cameron at cameronnewland.com immediately.

I felt I’d really achieved something last night when I was introduced to a guy who had already seen my T-Pain’s Top Inspirational Quotes post (We think a mutual friend must have sent him the link).
Day-in and day-out, I strive to bring more inspirational T-Pain content to the neediest of people who would otherwise miss out on his gospel. I’m kind of like Dr. Phil, in that sense. Perhaps I should be up for a Pulitzer; I mean, really, when you think about ‘biggest-contribution-to-society’, what else is more fitting than an amalgamation of T-Pain quotes?

A pretty well-designed lobby, all-in-all.
While bringing in some firewood for my mother’s house, I tossed a piece from the woodpile a few feet so that it would bounce around and shake off the spiders and their nests. The biggest Wolf Spider I’ve ever seen (perhaps two inches in diameter) stood proud atop the wood block, as if it hadn’t been shaken at all. I wouldn’t get within three feet of the intimidating creature. Just then, one of my mother’s backyard chickens, curious, approached the wood block. I questioned whether I should scare the chicken away, lest it get bitten by the formidable little spider. Before I could act, the valiant chicken bobbed its head toward the spider, gobbling it up and swallowing it.
We now know who is more courageous.

I’ve got to meet this guy (Pharrell).
I’m not so fond of this economic depression, but I’m loving the strides that people are making to make cultural reference to it.
For instance, one of my favorite spots in Los Angeles, The Edison, is toasting the financial meltdown with a melt-down of their own:
Soup Kitchen Fridays, with complimentary grilled-cheese sandwiches and tomato soup from 5-7PM
And on Thursdays, Depression-era cocktails are given Depression-era prices: 35¢!
Also, Friday December 5th, they’re going to be celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the repeal of the Prohibition!
I wish I could teleport myself there every week.

The Genius at the Apple Store just replaced my MacBook’s battery under my AppleCare warranty, even though battery replacements are strictly verboten under the AppleCare Warranty:
b. Limitations. The Plan does not cover:
(ix) Consumable parts, such as batteries [...]
Apparently, only iPod batteries are covered under AppleCare. Luckily, my Genius didn’t know about this and used some administrative override to give me the battery for free.
Kind of silly, considering I’m planning on buying the next-generation MacBook or MacBook Pro when it comes out on the 14th (shhhh…).
