National ‘Fill in the Blank’ Day

National ‘whatever’ Days are a fun way to honor or make an excuse to do something you may or may not normally do. Yesterday, my daughter told me that today was National Marijuana Day. Should I be worried? At any rate, I asked her why? Her response was that it was Bob Marley’s birthday.

Having nothing better to do this morning I searched the web to try and find out if it was true. So here’s a post dedicated to some of my favorite SEO’s (no links here).

April 20th is known as National Marijuana Day, not because it is Bob Marley’s birthday, but because of a group of high school kids at San Rafael High School in Ca. Back in 1971 these kids would meet daily at 4:20 to light up. Over the years, the 4:20 time evolved into 4/20 and is now referred to as National Marijuana Day.

BTW-Bob Marley was born on February 6, 1945.

Here’s another SEO that has recognized another National Day.

Any suggestions for a National SEO Day? When is Danny’s birthday? It’d be another excuse to have a party conference.

Happy celebrating!

ESCA and Chef Dave Pasternack

One of the perks of being married to an SEO Rockstar is the wining and dining we get to do when we travel. At SES New York last week we had the best dinner of our lives at ESCA, owned and operated by Dave Pasternack, Chef Extraordinaire.

When you walk into ESCA you will immediately be greeted by some of the most courteous and welcoming staff you will ever encounter. Our table was located in the main dining room right by the wall of wine. As we were being seated we noticed that Chef Dave Pasternack himself was sitting with a friend at the table right next to us. We immediately recognized him and introduced ourselves and asked if we could take a photo with him. He was very kind and obliged us all, then even sent over some delicious appetizers ‘compliments of the chef’.

If You Build It, They Will Come

It’s a great saying, that doesn’t always apply to blogs. At lease it didn’t apply to mine until yesterday.

I have been really enjoying watching the traffic to my blog and I am so flattered that folks have taken an interest in what I thought was a fun idea. I’ve gotten some new ideas for some more SEO/Celebrity look-a-likes, but I think I’ll hold off until the next conference to post any more.

I am really loving this right now, you have no idea the SEO bragging rights this gives me in my house. (Even if it only lasts for a couple days.)

Special thanks to all the look-a-likes that were such good sports and to J for a great post.

Easter in an SEO House

Here’s what my SEOH will be searching for in our Easter egg hunt this year.

Google Maps and BMW

I just read Danny’s post about Google Maps now being integrated with BMW. Basically, you type in the address information you need into Google Maps, and then send it via the internet to your BMW GPS system. That’s incredible. I guess I’ll have to talk SEOH into buying me a BMW. (Not!)

Anyway, cool feature.
