My 15 minutes of fame
Back in early June (or maybe it was July) Tish and I were approached by USA Today who were planning to write a story about Glaucoma. Somehow they found out we’d be blogging for the Glaucoma Foundation during the Blogathon and asked to interview us for their story. Our hope was that the story would be released before the Blogathon and help us receive more pledges. Alas the story did not run before the Blogathon. We were pretty bummed about that.
Many weeks went by and still no story. FINALLY, several months later USA Today has published the story. Behold my 15 minutes of fame.
I feel like Elvis or something. Sort of.
Mike Congrats!
That was an awesome article to read. I dropped a comment on Tish’s blog as well. You do some super dooper writing man… I love it!
Take care,
Garry
sucks that they didn’t give you any link love, but what the hell :D
Heyy, congratulations!!! USA TODAY, wow, you must be so proud. Congrats!
Congratulations Mike!
Whoo Hoo Mike (and Tish).
That is really cool. I’m impressed. LOL
Hey Mike,
Can I have your autograph???? :)
That’s awesome Mike. Congrats!!! :) Looks like they also need to write an article on link love and learn how important it is.:P
Anyway, that’s so cool. Plus they mentioned BlogsWeLuv! Bonus! :)
Btw, feel like singing a few songs for us? Or does feeling like Elvis not include being able to sing like Elvis. :P
Shine on,
Aaron
Wow. That article is so friggin’ cool!!! Makes me proud of ypu both all over again. When do I get to see you in a big white jumpsuit? I’m pretty sure that would make all my dreams come true.
That’s so cool, guys! Congratulations!
@Garry: Thanks, Garry! It would have been even more awesone if they’d have linked to the site ;D
@Krillz: I know, dammit! Ahh well ;P
@Hernan: Thanks, bud :) Never would’ve imagined having my name in USA Today so it is kinda cool :mrgreen:
@Bucky: Thank you, sir! I’ll be getting to your tag soon, I promise…lol. I’ve been a little sidetracked with a new project ;P
@Christine: Haha…well I don’t have a pen on me at the moment, unless you count my wacom tablet thingy ;P
@Aaron: They certainly do need a lesson in link love, don’t they? And NO I’m not going to sing…lol ;D
@Polli: Hehe…no jumpsuits. I don’t want to scare anyone :D
@Mark: Thank ya, buddy! Imagine the traffic BlogsWeLuv could be receiving right now if only they’d linked to the site. Grr :P
Wow,
Congrats dude, and also congrats for standing up for such a good cause!
I wish you the best of luck for the future.

That is so awesome Mike!!!!! Congratulations for hitting the big time, I just love how they referred to you as Wheeler, you know your famous when….
So cool!!! :)
Congrats buddy! I think we should educate them on proper linking though haha.
Congrats!!
@Christy: Definitely not famous ;P
@Baron: Indeed we should! Perhaps start a campaign teaching major news sites that it’s okay to create hyperlinks ;P
@Jenny: Thank you :D
Congratulations on having it published :) I had my two minutes of fame during the first (and so far, only) concert I ever went to, when my face was up on the big screen for a whole two minutes and I got to be watched by a crowd of thousands! Talk about exciting :D
It’s a very nice article, by the way.
Thank you, Liza!
That’s pretty neat! What concert was it? :)
