taxes done filed. at least we do not have to wait in lines at the post office (thank you e-file!)

good meeting with @dabfoto and @LolaJRS. good things are in the works, people. good things.

big week: http://ping.fm/TG94N is now live, launch party at Venturing Out at The Houston Metropolitan Dance Center on Saturday, 8pm

liking ping.fm and hootsuite, now to see if they really do play well together...

heard good things about ping.fm, giving it a try now.

do you want to teach a network admin to tell a good story or teach a storyteller to network?

for residents of Harris County, TX:
early voting began today
get out there STAT

go to harrisvotes.com and mouse over "voting information" and select "early voting info" -> "2008 elections" to get a .pdf of where you can go and when.

DO IT.

If you registered late and didn't get a card, early voting will be the easiest since most early voting locations will have internet access to double check here to see if you are in the system (hint, you can check there yourself right now).
