Spring is here. Kind of. Isn't April supposed to be the start of Spring?

I couldn't really tell, because I was frozen walking around Belltown.

Anyways, I get home and check my facebook feed. You know what I see?

Every girl in Seattle has updated her facebook picture to a derivation of this:

Oh yes boys and girls. Summer is upon us soon enough. The days are slowly getting longer. Rain is starting to abide. Here's our sunny pic of the day!

Hey Readers,

You'll love this one. So one of our bloggers posted information about a Microsoft - Boeing event to get the word out. Essentially, it seems like they were trying to help the organizers and to help our readers. Our Boeing friends actually complain that the invites for that event have hit annoyingly spamtastic levels internally, so it doesn't seem like they were getting enough people.

Sadly, the organizer somehow thinks getting press for her event is a bad idea. Apparently, the blogger took the post down, but we can still see the comment:

I know we all live in Seattle, but like how people in New York never visit the Statue of Liberty, we forget sometimes about the sites we miss out on in Seattle.

Also, these would be some good places to visit with out of towners.

1. Chittenden Locks and Fish Ladder
   
   
2. Pike Place Market
   
   
3. Space Needle

Only in Seattle would you see such a site.

1. Guys will always have plenty of people who want to join your World Of Warcraft Clan.
   Never will you fight trolls and werewolves alone again.
   
   
2. Guys won’t get picked on for not being knowledgeable about sports.
   Most guys in Seattle have never even touched a pig skin.
   
   

1. Wear Sunblock – your skin is important. Even though we live in a city that the sun ignores, the sun still has a damaging effect on your skin. One of the most gorgeous girls I know in Seattle wears sunblock religiously. I think at the time she may have been 28 or 29, but her skin made her look in her early 20s. Protecting your skin can make a big difference even in Seattle.
   
   
2. Wear Moisturizer – once again this is back to the whole skin is important thing. Girls in Seattle tend to have very rough skin. Our initial thoughts are that this may be due to pioneer-life hereditary genetics or the abuse of years of not wearing sunblock. Regardless, Seattle girls tend to have rough skin, so moisturize.
   
   
3. Wear Makeup – everyone has blemishes, but the odd thing is that most Seattle girls don’t know how to apply make-up properly. In other cities, the girls touch up themselves with concealer and all sorts of voodoo. This greatly improves their complexion. Do Seattle girls just not care, because every time I see one, I throw up a little.
   
   However, this one is tricky. Too much makeup or makeup improperly used can make you look like a hooker or a clown. Both are bad.
   
   

We recently just launched some new subscription options for you.

1) New RSS feed powered by Feedburner (a Google Company)

Apparently, feedburner gives us some more reliability and compatibility. I'm not sure what else they do, but I'm sure a company specializing in RSS feeds will be better than what we currently have. Please migrate to the new RSS Feed soon
