 <title>Where Goldfish Come From</title>
 <link>http://www.commoncraft.com/where-goldfish-come</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;A couple of months ago, I presented a 5 minute presentation at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.igniteseattle.com/&quot;&gt;Ignite Seattle&lt;/a&gt; called &quot;Where Goldfish Come From&quot; that is based on my experience growing up as a son of a goldfish farmer in North Carolina.&amp;nbsp; The &lt;a href=&quot;http://ignite.oreilly.com/&quot;&gt;Ignite series&lt;/a&gt; happens around the globe and each presenter has 20 slides that display for 15 seconds each, and auto-advance.&amp;nbsp; It&#039;s a challenge to make it work, but I enjoy it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&#039;s the video:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;340&quot;&gt;

 <title>R.I.P Amos, Our Faithful Mascot</title>
 <link>http://www.commoncraft.com/rip-amos-our-faithful-mascot</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s a sad day at Common Craft headquarters.&amp;nbsp; Our 15-year-old dog Amos passed away today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I picked him from a litter of puppies in the back of a pickup truck in Boone, NC in 1994. Since then he was a constant source of love in our lives.&amp;nbsp; They don&#039;t make &#039;em better than him - we were lucky have him for so long.&lt;/p&gt;
