#8 Elizabeth, most likely Maggie has not, as you phrased it, “removed the transparency of her relationship with her ad partners” (though that’s a touching altruistic sentiment), so much as she’s fulfilled contractual obligations with said ad partners.

I love it Maggie. Don’t listen to the haters. I’m so happy that a person as fab as you has figured out how to make an income doing what they so obviously love.

The last time I went to In’N'Out in Burlingame, the burger was cold and tasted like ass.

As a California refugee now living in Oregon I want In’N'Out as much as anyone so why not up north, here? We’re West Coast, too! Everytime I wear my in’n'out t-shirt (I mean everytime) someone asks me why we don’t have one near Portland.

Love the rechargeable wireless keyboard. So 2010!

So… also a transplanted Ohioan here… and an Ohio State alum. I stumbled upon the Homage tshirts a few weeks ago when looking for Ohio State tshirts – via a generic Gmail ad, actually! Larry, tell your friend his ad strategy is working! I loved them, but didn’t buy. I am SO. EXCITED. to learn that they are recommended by someone who seems as cool as Larry does!

Thanks for writing this, I’m about to go subscribe to his blog and probably buy some tshirts. And dream about In-n-Out. I respect their devotion buy BOY do I miss that food.

Maggie, from a long-time lurker who absolutely loves reading your blog, I don’t mind the sponsorships at all. It’s still creative, fantastic, inspiring stuff on this site… whether or not the Gap paid for you to do it. I’d rather you find sponsors and write about their campaigns and thereby KEEP DOING THIS than see it all end because you can’t sustain it. You go girl! Keep up the good work! Enjoy Greece!

In n out gets all their beef from a few farms that I believe are in Arizona. They promise not to freeze their beef, so they can only expand as far away from the farms as they can truck the beef in a refrigerator and not a freezer. After four years in Palo Alto, I’m missing it just as much as you guys are at my new homebase in St Louis…

Um, I’m fine with the ads, I’m just wondering where the rest of the mighty sites went. I can’t seem to get to mightygoods.com or and of the others.

In defense of In-n-Out, the company won’t expand to far out of their supply-line network, which is west coast-based. They keep it small(ish) on purpose and that’s how they turn out such a quality product. So, yes, this transplanted Californian (now in New Jersey) would love some In-n-Out action closer to home, but I understand why it ain’t happening.

And I’m okay with that, because this is a good company.

I agree with the other comments. Also, Outblush is the female counterpart to Uncrate, not you. Sorry.
