I took this picture while directing my tax dollars to Jefferson Parish at Barnes and Noble.

fun new thing

Thanks to Alan Gutierrez of Think New Orleans I have now discovered the glories of google calendar. I am now a total convert. Not only is it an extremely user-friendly interface for organizing appointments, it also allows people to create individual calendars for specific organizations/causes and share the content of those calendars with each other. Thus, I can simultaneously view my personal appointments, the thinknola calendar, and calendars I've created for the Lakeview and Gentilly rebuilding processes. The Lakeview and Gentilly ones are also publicly available so that anyone can use them. They're also linked to thinknola's calendar. I'm going to try to be able to like the calendar to this site… I'm gonna be such a maven!

The image above is the person who showed me the cool new thing.
