So I was looking at the statistics of the site today and started to wonder where all the not white people are. I mean there are a couple non-white people but in general the site is like 99.9% white.

Do you think it is the name elmwoodstrip.or implies the neighborhood elmwoodstrip which is kind of segragated. I am wondering if maybe a new name would help. I am pretty atatched to the name though. If not what else can be done to reach out to other people. Maybe even some spanish speakers. It would be pretty easy to translate the interface if I had some help.

I am also curious why so many people have signed up recently but have not written. This week I totally redid the formerlly lame welcome letter and added the tutorial link at the top. (e:jim) was supposed to help me with setting up a newbie guide but I am not sure what happend with that as I never was able to get ahold of him. When that is complete it will help to.

What can we do to get new people that not only sign up, but join in and start writing? Any ideas?

We went to OPM lounge but they wouldn't let us in because (e:terry) forgot his ID. So here I am programming again. That is the third time I haver been turned away from OPM lounge because one of the people I was with didn't have ID. It's so weird because we deifnately don't look young.

I want to go to this tomorrow night in Toronto but I doubt we will do that either as we can never organize anything.

Eating octopus after the gym makes me grow stronger. Time to go dancing.

The trainer said I lost 2 lbs of fat and gained 6lbs of muscle. I am down to 9% fat.

I know I brag about the lunches at my work all the time but this one tops them all. A huge piece of salmon and veggies for $6.

We got new exercises at the gym, my arms are getting seriously buff but these are (e:terry)'s.
I am missing (e:matthew) while he is in Toronto. Who will I watch starek with.

On another note I am just about to release a really sweet foto rss feed maker for the non techy in ou. Simply title and comment on a photo attach it and poof, you have you very own rss feed with your latest photos, or other photos you want to write about.

It's another (e:strip) exclusive and should be released this weekend.

I want to buy a mansion. This one is in my price range and location requirements. Unfortunately, it is totally full nasty of cats. I guess it could be decontaminated but it would take about 6 months.
