A Birthday Surprise from Rev3 and Digg

betweenlovenhate.blogspot.com — My birthday was Dec. 7th. It was starting out as a pretty lack-luster birthday, until I got a very special phone call...

  • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+47They're great guys and I knew they'd call. I'm glad it brightened your day and made you so happy. Tons of love to the Cod-fishie from his guppy-fish, Aria!
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34I do have to thank you, Aria. If it wasn't for you, they never would have called! Thanks for the awesome present!
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Just goes to show how cool these guys really are, and that they really do appreciate the fans. :)
    • treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17"PS. Prager, don't take any crap from Alex and Kevin. Smack'em around a little bit. They deserve it ;-)"

      ImPragernator FTW! :)
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Ninja, sorry!
    • covertbadger, on 10/12/2007, -24/+7The worship on here is sickening. Who cares if some ***** you've never met who works on a website you read occasionally gives you a call? There are few things more lame than someone going all gooey because someone 'cool' spoke to them. Looks like the idiotic social behaviour installed in high school runs deep. Get some ***** self-respect.
    • covertbadger, on 10/12/2007, -19/+6Wow, that's some quick downmodding. Apparently self-respect is for wimps, and dick-sucking of F-list celebrities is worthwhile. Interesting.
    • Chicken, on 10/12/2007, -10/+6Coverbadger Agreed, this is ***** sad indeed. I'm at a loss of words to describe this... this thing.
    • DigginTuesday, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1A lovely thing :)
    • Kazanoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Someone Call CovertBadger on his birthday, it sounds like he needs some cheering.
  • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Again Jay, thanks for the call. Very very cool of you.
    • Takteek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Woah you live in the same area code as me! =D Yeah... so I might stop by your house later tonight.
    • diehard2k5, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Stalker Alert. =]
  • jayadelson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+77It was our pleasure. Nice to share your birthday with the birthday of Digg...
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25I didn't even realize that until I saw the Blog post earlier today.
  • JWood, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This is freakin' awesome. Good going Jay. I'm sure we'll see more of stuff like this in the future.
    • tbeseda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think the bigger news here (though, it is wicked cool that they called him) is that Rev3 has a focus group...
  • Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8What exactly did you guys "chat" about? Anything juicy?

    And, what did it matter if you had a PC or a Mac? I'm guessing for IChat probably. (or whatever its called. Don't have a Mac yet so I'm not sure.) Was that it or was there some other reason?

    I had a birthday the same year Digg was founded... Do I get a call to? :(
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Nothing juicy, sorry. As for the Mac, yeah it was for iChat. As for the call, you will have to ask Jay. I didn't get the call because my birthday was the same day as Diggs.
    • dorkusmalorkus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Everyone had a birthday that year!
  • appetite, on 10/12/2007, -5/+42who are you people?
    • kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22what are you doing in my back yard?
    • treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10how did I get in this nut-shell?
  • DownSyndrom3, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Haha. Cool. Happy-late-birthday.
  • homerj14, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1yom Chuledets sameach
  • Warnke, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Why the hell are there so many brand new blogs created just to be put on digg?
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I had the blog for a while and never did anything with it. I posted this so that people have an idea of just how down to Earth the people at Digg and Rev3 are.
  • thefutureisours, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11uhhh reading this makes me feel like I'm in high school again.
  • triplexpac, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12There is nothing lackluster about 24 cupcakes.
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Very true. I love my wife very much for them.
    • MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Did they have Jack Bauer on them?
    • dorkusmalorkus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO TELL ME WHERE THE FROSTING IS!
  • Raider007, on 10/12/2007, -20/+8seriously? people post about phone calls they got on their birthday? and this makes it to the front page of digg? who cares?
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19Jealous? =D
    • Raider007, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6not really, i just think it's stupid for someone to post this...
    • covertbadger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It IS stupid, but there are a lot of panty-throwing cheerleaders here that spooge whenever one of the gods of Cori Celeste come down to talk to us mortals.
  • EvilCan, on 02/26/2008, -1/+4I still don't really understand why he called...was it just because you have the same birthday as digg?
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No, a friend of mine told him to and he did. I think that is pretty cool.
    • EvilCan, on 02/26/2008, -1/+7Ah, ok, you have some kind of inside connection.
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No, just someone who loves her younger-big-bro dearly.
  • apoc519, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4416 is the area code for Toronto. Where the heck were they?
    • Ebeniz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ya.. I was about to ask the same thing... weird... is revision3 in toronto? I don't think so... The only thing I know that's in Toronto is Leo (who is moving his show to Vancouver)... Weird
  • foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5You wouldnt happen to get the number off caller-ID.... would you?
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3LOL. No, sorry. Plus I don't think Jay would appreciate me giving it out even if I did have it.
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Out of respect for Digg's privacy, no info on them will be given to ANYBODY. If you can't find it on the site, don't even ask if we have it. Even if we do, we'll lie and say no. They're great people, and we respect their privacy and that any info they want public, they will make public themselves.
  • xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Do you live in SLO? and theres a Rev3 Focus Group??
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I live in Santa Barbara. And apparently there is. Trust me, this is news to me too.
  • WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That's awesome.
    But I wonder what the surprise would have been if he HAD a Mac?
    Guess we'll never know.

    Anyhow, Happy Birthday, digga!
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They probably wanted to get me on iChat and give me a visual Happy Birthday.

      Thanks for the Happy Birthday.
    • WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2And thanks for a happy front page story, as a nice break from the gravity of some other stories.
      :-)
  • Jeifurie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Hmm...anyone know how/why my comment got deleted? I didn't know they delete comments and its not like I posted anything bad.
    • appetite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1yes, because you posted a phone number and i made a joke that it was my mom's phone number. they must have thought it was true and that i might sue them.
  • MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Sweet, I live in the 805 too. Yay for Ventura county.
  • mikes, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1http://www.duggmirrior.com
  • Justin6512, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"PS. Prager, don't take any crap from Alex and Kevin. Smack'em around a little bit. They deserve it ;-)"

    Boooooooooo!
    • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You saying they dont?
    • NickDouglas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Well Kevin does.
    • Justin6512, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3No I'm saying that he shouldn't slap around Kevin/Alex, they're just joking around, and don't really mean any insults they say.
    • dlprager, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Hmm... to smack or not to smack, that is the question. Then whether or not to do it on camera :P
    • AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Prager, can I smack them? Please? I'd enjoy it sooooo much! Doesn't matter if the camera's on. No, wait, yeah, on camera. Yeah.
  • Justin6512, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Man, I would love for this to happen to me.
  • aks123, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Wow, my birthday is December 7th too!
  • popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I should note that the lack-lusterness ended when my wife gave me my cupcakes with the trick candles. But that is a story for another time...
  • 3leggedHorse, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3That is just a bit creepy for me, It's like your cable company calling and wishing you happy birthday WTF.
  • warbird, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5I pity you if that was your birthday high...
  • kyleh, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1My birthday was December 7th too i turned 18..... i didnt get a phone call...... o well
