Early Posting
This is an earlier than usual posting for me. I need to go give an exam at canisius this morning. While I am there I have to do a bunch of grading for tempreal and send it to Jesse who is now ignoring me.

I am truly exited for the end of this week. I will fianlly have time to get some of my own stuff done.

Family Photo from Mother's Day
Well, we went through a bunch of photos in order to try and get everyone one in the picture for mother's day at my mom's house. I ended up just resorting to photoshop. But at least it looks like no one had to hold the camera!

Happy Mother's Day mom. I will get you a larger version of the pic later.

I have changed the look again
I was frustrated with the angular boxes. You now have rounded corners. I know the colors are bright but Matthew and I wanted spring colors. I also wanted to stay awake. They will change again soon.

On another note, I also touched up the journal selection code, so selecting journals and switching between them should be faster.

Guerilla Advertising Part 1
So I decided to take the chalk advertising into my own hands and took Terry out with me. After completing the laundry at the Village laundromat, I grabbed the box of chalk and headed out.

We went down the street and wrote elmwoodstrip.com everywhere. Matthew and I are heading out to take pics of it later. At M&T we got some slack from the 70 year old "suckurity" guard. We actually had written it by the church and he came out to say angrily, "we don't need any of that here." Terry told him to mind his own business and that it was public property. I continued writing while he angrily looked on and then we left. I mean we are not selling anything. We are trying to create a free public forum. What is so wrong with that.

At Kalista, the stylist came out, brush in hand and asked us what it about. I explained what the site was and that we wern't selling anything. She said she just wanted to make sure we were not writing anything dirty! I tried to explain that it was a community forum where people could say what they wanted.

Its amazing how difficult it is to create a public forum in a place where no free public forum exists. Especially since we lost our little elwmoodstrip park next to Wilson's Farms and it became another store.

extra!
