This may sound early, but I figure scheduling and personnel will be as much (or more) of an issue as actually getting the TN crew to 80.

So, with that in mind, here are some random tidbits of information for us to keep in mind:

Heading down to Cakeeater Bald Head Island for the weekend tonight.

I'll play some Osmos at 7:30 and curse like someone is listening, though.

i'm not sure what's going on, but my d.o doesn't seem to be updating. possibly nothing has been posted since the iPhone4 vid, but even reloading it's still telling me that T's HAHAHAHA happened 1 sec ago.

this post is partly to force a change just to see if i can see it, and partly an inane appeal for ideas. inane since, if there's a problem, i won't be able to see any responses. :P

I know Thomas hasn't seen this yet, else he would be the one posting it.

All systems go?

What are we going to do? More L4D2? Kick back with some UT?

Just wanted to reiterate that yes, I'm working tonight and won't be available but Rachael would really like to play with y'all and fill in for me if y'all are amenable to that.

Naming no names and assigning no blame, I merely ask, "What do I do now that my laptop has shown that it does not have the ability to fly, or stay on the boot of a car at 45mph?"

It is dinged up but still use-able (as I type on it now.) Dings are on left side, both corners, but bad enough to have an eighth inch vent in left corner, where the bottom is not so seamless any more. It now has that annoying rock a dining table with a short leg has when I type.

Do I (we) replace it with a brand new or refurbed laptop?

Looking like starting at opening time might be unwise on top of no sleep whatsoever.

Anyone care to make it 2pm for food & a few quick beers instead of an all-day last-man-standing deathmatch?

So a while back I pointed out that Smokey's BBQ is really quite good. Considering I go there fairly regularly, I thought I might see if anyone else wanted to go there for lunch on Friday.

I know Bill was saying that he was interested, anyone else?
