Happy Birthday! JoeBuddeJr.com Turns 1 Today!
I write this post with a hesitation. Anyone who reads it must promise to not turn this into an awkward office birthday party. 
So without further adieu…
Dear www.JoeBuddeJr.com,
Happy Birthday Blog! It has been a great year getting to know you and your readers. You have helped me learn how to start conversations, join them, make new friends and rekindle old ones.
Your readers have helped me by suggesting things for me to write. Your readers are good people.
So on this, your first birthday, I wanted to wish you luck with the following things:
- That your readers might comment more. Since I am a blog author, I know it can get lonely out there on the interwebs and your only outlet is to converse with your readers, so I hope you can count on them to comment more in your second year.
- That your content will get syndicated more. I know you put out great content, but some people are unable to access it because of the competition out there, but through your syndication on Brazen Careerist, I hope you can meet new readers!
- That you continue to enable your author to learn.
So blog, thanks for the memories, I look forward to continuing our relationship and our relationship with our readers. With out our awesome readers all of your hard work would not be recognized!
Thanks,
Joe Budde
PS. Dont smash the cake in your face… its so messy.

Happy New Year! On the Slate for 2009
Happy new year! I know I posted a couple days ago, but I wanted let everyone to know that I’m back from my short hiatus from blogging called the holidays.
I trust everyone enjoyed this holiday season. While away from the computer, I saw Will Smith’s new movie 7 Pounds which was good but I recommend waiting for it to come out on hulu. I also played a ton of RockBand and Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii. My sister was a literal rockstar with a gift as awesome as Rockband and my wife sacrificed time together with time for me to play Zelda(and time for her to read!) I also found out that my wife’s cousin can alphabetize any 6 letter word instantly. Quite an amazing skill if you ask me.
I am looking forward to 2009 because I have several draft posts going right now that should be hitting the shelves, aka my blog/your reader, in the next few weeks as I iron them out:
- An interview with a brand new Cincinnati start-up company’s founders!
-
Learn to Invest Socially: Investing Communities
-
Blogging Lessons Learned After a Year
-
My blog’s first anniversary!
I also hope to engage more with my readers by posting about things they want to know. What post would you want me to write?

An Open Letter to Yelp: Eurelp
Dear Friends at Yelp,
As you all know, I love Yelp! But I just got back from Budapest, Hungary, and I have no where to tell everyone I know about all the cool things I saw/did there, especially the Hungarian Baths.
-
- Half of the Front of the Building
-
- The Outdoor Pools
-
- Indoor Soaking Tub
If there was a yelp geared toward purely european backpacker-types, I would really apprecaite it. And frankly, so would a slew of hostel lovers across europe. I would call it Eurelp. But hey, you don’t have to use it. Its just a suggestion.
So when Yelp has a targeted european section, I could tell everyone about the amazing time I had at the Széchenyi Bath. I could share about how the hot water jets shoot the natural spring water on your shoulders so hard that it is better than a swedish massage. I could tell them to check out my pictures, or watch a movie about the hungarian bath on YouTube.
Oh and Yelp, it would be really great if you could take the train schedules on www.DB.de and the hostels on www.hostelworld.com and tie them into a schedule that helps me make the most of my two weeks in europe. That would be a great addition to the reviews of european attractions. Thanks.
Regards,
PS. I love how Yelp helped me in San Francisco. I just want the same for my european adventures!
