To be awesome and to see if groups lets others edit others' photos.

I got a great email yesterday from Doug Worsham, Foreign Language Technologist at UW-Madison, who I met at Educause. He wrote up a great post on his blog, nominating Soapbox and my poster for the "coolest session of the week" at Educause.

Thanks Doug; and I look forward to working with you to get the word out about Drupal.

If one of your goals this summer is to get organized, check out the blog Unclutter, which describes itself as a "blog about getting and staying organized. A place for everything, and everything in its place is our gospel."

It's not just office productivity; they talk about improving your shower by replacing bottles with a soap dispense, the quest for the perfect laptop/cellphone/gadget charging station, and wireless power transmission (to get rid of all those annoying tangles of wires).

This post at Lifehack about stand-up desks caught my eye. I've found myself working this way at home recently -- we have a jelly cupboard in our library that's about the perfect height for me, and since it's in the middle of our first-floor is the perfect place to check e-mail or work on a project and still keep an eye on the kids. I've also found it to be more comfortable than sitting because a) after a day of sitting I'm ready to stand for a while and b) chasing and lifting a 1-year-old is hell on the back. It's a barebones setup that's nothing like the desk that Lifehack found -- just a laptop, a mouse and a power cord -- but it's been working for me.

Hilarity ensues when three dozen people dressed in blue polo shirts and khakis descend on Best Buy.

Hey guys!

Below you will find the links to the photographer and politician that Daniella was talking about at the meeting today. Please take a look at the links that she suggested. Post your thoughts. Thanks!
