I have an opportunity to go out of town for a few days on business, and as much as I wanted to go on this walk with you all, I'm going to take the opportunity.

Please do this again so I can go!

This sounds like so much fun! Anyone from the north side (Greenwood/Greenlake area) willing to bring me across the water? I'll bring my small dog (a Chinese crested hairless named Mushu - yep, that's right!).

Glad Miss Anna is jumping back!

This is a great book! I won't be attending this one, but I am so appreciative that I read this book just as I was getting my first business up and running. It's awesome! Good pick Debbie!

Yeah! Found a ride. I'll see you all there!

Let me know the next time you do this Brian, sounds like a great event!

This event sounds really cool, and I would have RSVP'd already if I knew I could make it there. Anyone from North Seattle want to carpool? Pretty please? ;)

Mike, Have you heard of noonhat.com? I think you would enjoy it. It was created by a biznik and the general idea is similar to what you describe in your article.

This sounds very cool Anna. I won't be able to make it on time for this one and don't want to risk interrupting you, but let me know if you do it again.

"Don’t open with “What do you do?” because it limits rapport-building."

So what do you recommend opening with instead? You've peaked my interest now!

Let me know when you do this again - sounds like a great event!

Sorry guys, looks like you'll have to go on without me for this one. Another time.

Howard, Would you still recommend I come if I have to leave just before 1pm? I wanted to check and make sure I wouldn't be interrupting anything if I had to leave early.

I have a client at noon that day, but it sounds very cool. Let me know if you do this again please.

Mimi, Are you by any chance a member/student of the Academy for Coach Training in Edmonds? I have a friend attending there right now and she's said wonderful things about it.

Welcome to Biznik!

I won't be able to make it to weekday breakfasts for a while, and while a weekend breakfast is a possibility, it depends a lot on where it's located.

Lunches - again, depends on where it's located.

After work is the easiest time for me to get places.

Pedro?! What happened to Crazy, Confident Craig?

;)

Awesome, I'll be there!

Ok. First obvious question...

What the heck is rolfing? I have honestly never heard of it before. I've heard of ralphing, which is not so good. But never rolfing.

Would you be so kind as to indulge us with a brief overview?

I'll second the Canon vote. They seem to have really high quality lens compared to the other cameras in the same price range. I have a Canon Powershot A95, one of the bigger ones that's a few years old. I bought it new for $350.

Great resolution (5 MP), good battery life, manual option plus lots of useful preselected scenes. I very often get a perfect shot using the Auto select, especially outdoors.

I take upclose pictures of jewelery for my husband's business and need to use the manual for that, but pretty much everything else I use a preset setting for.

One of the reasons I went with the bigger camera is because I take a lot of low-light photos and it's tough to hold a very light camera still enough to make a sharp low light photo.

Plus the fact that it uses AA batteries makes it easy and affordable to replace them when I'm in Mexico on vacation. The Lithium batteries are about $60 here to replace, but in Mexico they cost over $100.

One downside of the Canons used to be that they had a maximum time on the videos you can record. I think it's 30 or 45 seconds? Anyway, great camera, great lens, great deal.

Enjoy your shopping! Rebecca
