A Geek we’re really Proud of
Once in a while something happens to you that just makes you feel good about human-kind. This is one of those stories.
A few weeks ago, I blogged about our new office. In a follow-up post, I asked readers of our blog to send plants to help make our office green. A few days later, some plants began arriving– mostly from friends and family. We appreciated every plant that we got, and it’s really given the office a good vibe. (Shameless plug: It’s not too late to send us more plants!)
Just when we thought we had received all of the new plants we were going to get, a small box arrived. In the box was a beautiful (and very green) plant with a note from a person I’ve never met. With the plant was a simple note: “Congrats on your new digs! May it become even more green. From blogger/fan Proud Geek.”
As you can see from the picture, the plant is really nice. It seems to love water; we can’t seem to water it enough.
I’ve only gotten to know Proud Geek over email. From what I can tell from the Proud Geek blog, he’s lives in DC (or around there) and he’s part of the thriving deaf community in that area. He’s an active blogger and writes about all things technology. One of the pages on his site that I really like is the “Doing Everything Online.” I hope he’ll continue to grow this page with more resources for his readers.
Proud Geek has blogged about MyPunchbowl in the past — and while he ran into a few problems, I’m happy to say that we’ve now addressed all of his key issues. It looks like the last time he used MyPunchbowl was before we fixed issues with email deliverability. Proud Geek: I hope you’ll give MyPunchbowl a try for your next event or party.
Thanks to Proud Geek for sending us a plant. You’ll forever have a special place in the hearts and minds of the Punchbowlers!
