Happy Birthday, Maxwell!

At Penguin Magic headquarters this morning, we celebrated Maxwell's 27th birthday! It started out with a little surprise that we all had arranged for him. Maxwell is a tough guy to buy a present for, but Acar and I had agreed that this could be a winner!

After Maxwell arrived at the office this morning, we let him know that he had a call on Line 4. When he picked it up, the voice on the other end of the phone was Seth Godin! Not only is Seth a bestselling author, he is also a successful entrepreneur, and was CEO and founder of a direct marketing company that was acquired by Yahoo! in late 1998. Spend any time discussing marketing with Maxwell, and he'll quickly reccomend Seth's book, Purple Cow. Many of you may know that Maxwell is a big audiobook fan, so for him this was a real treat and a BIG surprise! Seth is a great guy, and it was a blast hearing Maxwell tell us about their conversation!

Please join all of us at Penguin in wishing Maxwell a happy birthday!
