Polaroid Week

Today is the beginning of Polaroid Week. Everyone can join in on taking a picture and posting it daily here on the 'Roid Week 08 group on flickr.

This is my picture for Monday. Today was the first time I've ever taken Theo outside and let her be on the ground/grass. I've always been too afraid that she would get startled and run away, get attacked by some animal seeing her, or get a tick or fleas or something in the grass. She seemed very curious and I could just imagine what she was thinking..."What is this weird place where the ground is made entirely of food?"

Natalie, Al and Erin were present and Robyn stopped by. Al handed out some of his prints to eager members. Erin showed her painting once again, but was stalled in progress. Members offered suggestions. No photos this week.

Wireless

I just read an article in the star about local businesses that offer wireless services. The Junction, Java 101, Shelley's, Panera, The DeKalb Public Library and The House all offer free wireless. Caribou offers the first hour free and an hour for every purchase over $1.35. The others businesses in the article all cost money so I won't waste my time to mention them.
Any of these might be a nice "change-up" to meet at on Fridays. What do you think?

Makers Logo?

Let's revisit a Maker's Logo... What does everyone think of these:

I'm thinking t-shirts, signet rings, etc...
It's something I noticed with a particular Cher concert logo. Take each letter. If it is a mirror image of itself, leave it alone. If it isn't a mirror image, take the letter and flip it, join it in the center and *poof* a cartouche.

Meeting 04.04.08

Robyn & Erin came. Congratulations to Natalie who received honors at the Kishwaukee Kamelian Awards Ceremony... PLUS the cover!
