According to Paid Content Disney just bought clubpenguin for $350M + another $350 possible earnout.
so.. what I don’t understand is how the maths works here.
The site has 700,000 members each paying $6/month. If you do the raw estimates disney has just paid $1,000 per account.
lets say clubpenguin REALLY takes off, and say becomes as big as the world largest (WoW) which I think has 8million subscribers.. It would still mean $100/account.
shit.. I need to stop coding for the man and start learning flash and cute graphics, before some bean counter comes with a pin and bursts this bubble

Friday: 5 year old Birthday party (I didn’t attend). I got to see Amelia after the sugar high.
Saturday: 5 year old Birthday party at a traffic school.. imagine 20-30 4-6 year olds on fast bikes and with a sugar high.. (actually had a fun time, and didn’t get bowled over)
Sunday: Amelia’s (my 5 year old) Birthday party. which was at a fairy place. 20 5-year old girls (+1 boy) all dressed up as fairies (bob the builder) on a sugar high.. The ‘fairy cave’ was surreal. I’m just waiting for one of my daughters to want her room to look like that. (pictures will be online tomorrow.., but for now imagine yards of tulle on the roof.. in different shades of pink and lots of butterflys and fairy things on the walls).
The first weeks of october will always be busy for me for the foreseeable future. (Audrey’s Birthday is the 1st-Oct as well)
