It's roundup time! Let's get this party started:

• It's Danny's last day at SEW... Get ready for SE Land (fingers crossed that we see more personality and more opinions mixed in with the news).
• This contest from Barry sounds awesome - great idea. I don't think we can win or I'd give it a go... although maybe in Chicago I could put Rebecca on it. Hmm...
• I should just run Todd's feed on the frickin' sidebar the guy's so linkworthy. From new names for SEOs to his marketing manifesto (that I already linked at once) to his Digg guide (my word is he active on Digg lately) you'd think someone lit a link fire under his rear :)
• Speaking of Digg Michael Gray is all over the value of one Digg and the small price one pays for being buried.
• Mr. Zawodny wrote about a couple of his favorite corporate blogs and I have to agree - love the personality and the varied story subjects. Another good one is Farecast's (full disclosure - we work with 'em but I read their blog before then so it shouldn't count).
• David Wallace's guess the SEO game is pretty cool but I could've sworn that #8 was Danny...
• As per one of Danny's final requests and my friend Joe's suggestion - will you?
• Andy Hagans writes about domain jujitsu and using your ninja skills to hide from Google. I read something like that and think - man I'm glad I'm not a black hat.
• Andrew Goodman asks Nick Fox (Google's head of advertising quality) some tough questions. Man - we just started testing the waters for some Adwords campaign testing and lost $700 foolishly. I'm gonna make sure I'm at that session next week.
• BTW - Mike I love your travels-around-the-world posts. Don't ever change buddy.
• Fangirl needs some help getting female SEO regulars to shoot her an email and get in touch about lunch in Chicago. Risa & Lisa that means you!
• Dude... Greg... Fricking write something new already! Same goes for you Xan. Ralph.. well let's just say I'm not holding out much hope (if he goes two years he wins a prize).
• Boy Paul Graham makes it very tough to argue that some people aren't worth 100X as much as others - a fascinating read.
• There's still people who don't know about this? Really?
• Rae's redesign looks good - glad to see you kept the personal posts on there too :)
• Auren Hoffman says that big high-tech firms are losing out on attracting big talent... I'd probably disagree and say that there are too many exceptions to this "rule" to make it a real trend - I'd just say that talent can be had by both big and small firms if they know how to recruit.
• Wait now we're not allowed to link to other people's pages that might contain copyrighted material?
• James Kim of C|Net and his family (incl. 2 daughters) are missing - if you're in central Oregon or northern California keep an eye out.

I know I missed at least a few...
