i just landed me some pownce invites, thanks to pete. in case you’re wondering, pownce is kevin rose’s much-hyped new venture. i have six five four three two one zero six invites left. if you want one, just ask.

i was pleasantly surprised when a friend told me that digg number 1 submitter andy (mrbabyman) had given me a shout out on his twitter,

Wow. Mu Saleem is just burnin’ up the Digg FP recently! At this rate, we’ll have a new #1 submitter very soon. Go man, Go!

it’s great to see that diggers aren’t threatened by each other and just want to see good content promoted on digg.

i’m happy to announce that today i was inducted into the digg.com 500 club. the group has a total of 7 members including me, out of which 5 are currently active.

i graduated from the university of chicago with a b.a. degree in economics and a minor in slavic languages and literature today. yay!
