Problogger interviewed Chris Pearson, who said about yours truly:

Lisa Firke … is a really talented designer …

I am getting ready to launch another fun mod of Chris’ Thesis Theme for WordPress, when my husband debuts his education blog next month. Don Firke will be breaking new ground, as there are very few independent school heads blogging at this time.

My dear client, Debbi Michiko Florence, author of CHINA: A Kaleidoscope Kids book, is running a giveaway in honor of her book’s publication and the China 2008 Olympics. Details from Debbi herself below:

Ni Hao!

Just in time for the Summer Olympics in Beijing, China! With over 40 hands-on/minds-on activities, my book CHINA: A Kaleidoscope Kids book (Williamson Books/2008) offers kids and adults alike an opportunity to experience the culture of China and learn about the food, games, holidays, wildlife and more!

In honor of the upcoming summer Olympics in Beijing, China, I’m holding a drawing.

Prizes:

1st Prize - Signed hardcover copy of China and an official Beijing 2008 Olympic pin, featuring the Temple of Heaven.

2nd Prize - Signed paperback copy of China and a window decal that reads “USA: The Road to Beijing 2008″.

2. If you don’t have a blog, do the same as above, but in an e-mail. Send it to at least five people. BCC me, and then let me know you’ve done this, providing your name and email address.
