Well, hello, Monday and hello, June!

• I’ve been icing down a keg and gathering party supplies, a box of giveaway books, the catering order and much much more for tonight’s book launch party in San Francisco. My sister Cheryl surprised me last night, flying in from Vancouver to join in the celebration. I’m so excited to see everyone tonight!
• If you’ll be in New York on June 19, come to the NYC book launch party.
• I’m scheduled to record another podcast interview this week; I’ll share the details once it goes live on the interwebs.
• Have you read Interviewing Users? I’d love it if you posted a review on Amazon!
• Portigal.com got hacked last week and we were down for several days. Maybe you missed Lena’s War Story? Or this bit about a major cultural shift in a healthcare organization, through an empathic exercise?
• Ten years gone: From June 2003 – branding musing, Rubberific.
• What we’re consuming: Old Jerusalem, Mexican chocolate egg cream, mysterious car fluid drippings, Tchoupitoulas.
