This was a man at the edge of physical breakdown, willing himself toward the finish in a total sprint despite an agony so extreme it would cripple most men. There was no one immediately behind him, and no one close enough in front to catch. There was just Oz, doing the best he could do.

We're making steady progress. We just finished the ListSurfer feature that will let you create and surf all kinds of different lists.

I'll keep you posted as we get closer to golive.http://www.penguinmagic.com/blog/2006/08/update-on-penguin-20.htmlMaxwell Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/20788819/posts/summary/115808495065432916Tue, 12 Sep 2006 18:09:00 +00002006-09-12T11:15:50.670-07:00Awesome new promo just went live today.

I'm headed to Madison on Sunday to support Oz in person. If you're in the area, please join me. Should be a fun day. Oz writes: "This upcoming Sunday (Sept 10th) I will be competing in the Ironman Wisconsin. I want to thank everyone that is coming to the race to cheer me on, as well as those cheering from afar.

It is how you shake foot and tie up that brings step forward." -- Ancient Proverb Hmmmm...http://www.penguinmagic.com/blog/2006/09/ancient-proverb-poorly-translated.htmlMaxwell Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/20788819/posts/summary/115723056039729661Sat, 02 Sep 2006 20:40:00 +00002006-09-06T15:53:10.270-07:00I just recorded a new greeting on my voicemail, so I thought I'd retire my old voicemail script by posting it here. I don't like checking my voicemail, so this script was designed to catch people slightly off guard and get them to leave an extra happy message for me. It was extremely effective, and even convinced my friend Wes to make his voicemail greeting more cheesy. So, here is what you http://www.penguinmagic.com/blog/2006/09/retiring-my-old-voicemail-script.htmlMaxwell Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/20788819/posts/summary/115721469594728378Sat, 02 Sep 2006 16:00:00 +00002006-09-02T13:05:18.156-07:00It's my brother Matt's birthday today. Matt is one of Penguin Magic's secret weapons. He's leading development on the new Penguin website, and he's always full of inspiration and good ideas for us. Here's a photo of Acar, Matt and me in Turkey a couple of weeks ago. We were in Turkey for most of August working on the new Penguin site. Why Turkey? Because if you've got to program a computer http://www.penguinmagic.com/blog/2006/09/happy-birthday-matt.htmlMaxwell Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/20788819/posts/summary/114468649528247429Mon, 10 Apr 2006 16:21:00 +00002006-09-01T22:37:15.470-07:00Today is Morgan's birthday! In addition to being the star of Liquid Metal, SPUN, and the upcomming Taste Conditions DVD, Morgan is also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Magic Historians will one day remember him as the co-inventor of "The Hand Hug", which premieres in GREED with Danny Garcia (which will be out next month).

But, this year magicians are going back to school with a little extra wiggle in their waggle thanks to a new pair of shoelaces.http://www.penguinmagic.com/blog/2006/09/back-to-school-shoelaces.htmlMaxwell Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/20788819/posts/summary/115698779342174075Thu, 31 Aug 2006 00:29:00 +00002006-09-01T14:39:04.703-07:00When I was in school there was nothing I hated more than "back to school" commercials. In the middle of August, the last thing I wanted to be reminded of was my steadily growing need for new pencils, folders, and clean clothes. The worst part was that marketers started running "back to school" commercials when we still had a month of summer on the calendar... a month! Penguin Magic hopes thishttp://www.penguinmagic.com/blog/2006/08/dirt-its-back-to-school-time-already.htmlMaxwell Murphy
