I added a check, to make sure that each journal entry had a title when posting. Some people had been forgetting to post them with their entries and while it may seem insignificant on your journal, it is really important for the search feature which lists results by title, as well as, for future structural designs.

Thanks for understanding.

The radio is still playing "The Model Sons" but we added aa bunch of "Kimya Dawson" Songs and a "Butchies" song. Please tune in by clicking on the "Elmwood Online Radio" Link under any userPic. You can find out more information about the bands on the Radio Page.

As always, if you have any ideas for your own radio show, either prerecorded or live, please feel free to email via the elmwood or radio journal.

This is one of the postcards I am making to advertise for the site. I plan on putting them around elmwood. I would like to invite you'll to make postcards as well. Postcards should be 300dpi 6" x 4" files. They can be in any non-compressed format such as psd, tif, or tga. If you are interested or have any questions please click on the "Email Elmwood" link.



I am also interested in starting a site to upload postcards and e-cards for other purpopses, anyone else interested?

We are playing "The Model Sons," a Boston Band that played at Mohawk Place on Saturday, on the elmwood radio all day. More information is found on the radio journal. To listen click on the Elmwood Online Radio pic under any userPic.

Shawnr posted this crazy to his journal and I thought I would re-post it here so more people would see it after his star was gone.

The web cam site allows you to not only watch the occupants of the house, you can also control the web cam, turn their lights on and off and control other aspects of their house. Here is a picture I captured of the person there this afternoon.

This post came as an email from Rachel. I hadn't opened it because I thought it was the myDoom Virus as the message was an attachment. It wasn't, and it was quite funny so I am posting it here. I added the image to give it a sense of reality.



Here's a dilemma for you. With all your honor and dignity what would you do?
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't
answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer
you will be able to test where you stand morally. The test features an
unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a
decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest,
yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line -- this is
important for the test to work accurately.

You're in Florida. In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on
around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses
of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle
of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to
shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around
you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive
power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not
to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow
the man looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is -- it's George W. Bush!!!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him
away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the
best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you
can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the
death of one of the world's most powerful men.

And here's the question (please give an honest answer):

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic
black and white?

"Massachusetts' highest court reiterated today that only full marriage rights for gay couples, not civil unions, would be constitutional. The ruling sets the stage for Massachusetts to become the first state in the nation to allow same-sex marriages."

What will happen now? This is either going to be a huge breakthough or the straw that broke the camels back when conservatives backlash on Capitol Hill.

All together we have typed over 1 million letters now. Congratulations to everyone, thanks for making a million.

The wordcount feature has been recalled because of its competitive nature, unless people demand it back.

I have added a little Word Counting function to the journls so that you can see how much you are writing. The reason for the ~ is that it the value is approximate depending how you define a word. Usually it is not off by more than a few.

Matthew is beginnning to work on a new look for the site and I am developing some other enhancements to be realeased in the near future. Stay tuned.

Once again, if anyone has any ideas or requests please email us. Furthermore, if anyone has any sound or video work that they would like featured on the site. Please contact us, we are going to be experimenting with such work in the near future.
