Dan Cathy

This is the blog of Dan Cathy, President and CEO of Chick-fil-A. Dan writes about business and life, offering a world of insights to regular readers.

Why it’s in the Showcase: Dan’s site shows how useful a professionally styled, personal blog can be for major figureheads and corporate leaders. The site’s unique header shows the blog’s four categories (live, love, lead, Chick-fil-A) and mousing over any one of them changes the header image to a photo and text-brief connected with the most recent post filed in that category.

Margaret Cho

Margaret started performing stand-up at age 16 in a comedy club called The Rose & Thistle above a bookstore her parents ran. Soon after, she won a comedy contest where first prize was opening for Jerry Seinfeld. She moved to Los Angeles in the early ’90s and lived in a house with several other young performers.

I moved out because I wasn’t the most famous. If the Manson Family had come, I wouldn’t have been Sharon Tate; I would have been one of the supporting victims, and who wants that? Janeane Garofalo moved into my old room. Anyway, ‘Cho’ written in blood on the wall doesn’t look as cool as ‘Garofalo.’
