What Happened to the Car?
The Scribblefest was a month ago and some of you are probably wondering where things stand with the car. Of course, the holidays slowed things down a bit, but the real delays happened the first week of January when the car was broken into: someone apparently really wanted that $50 stereo. And we’ve had a bit of a challenge finding someone who can do the skin since the vehicle doesn’t yet have a template. But, it looks we’re close to resolving these issues (we hope!) and we’re expecting to have the car on the streets sometime the next several weeks. If we can think of some cool and fun way to do an “unveiling”, we’ll let everyone know. Maybe we’ll showcase it at Old Soul at the next Second Saturday…

Project Updates Forthcoming
Thanks to a reminder from Dan, we’re renewing our efforts to post more regularly about the projects. As you can tell, I enjoy the “reflective” big picture stuff, but we know a lot of you are very much into the particulars. Plus, if we’re not doing this, we’re losing an opportunity to get your input on the projects: we really do want to hear people’s questions, concerns, suggestions, impressions, etc. Because of the sheer volume of activity on the projects, it’s been a bit daunting to figure out what to talk about (at least for me). So, I’ve very grateful that Steve, Micah and Vanessa are stepping up to this task. Be looking for regular updates starting… well… yesterday.

Missing a Newsletter?
Many of you have subscribed to our e-newsletter…and haven’t received one yet. No, we haven’t lost your e-mail, the newsletter is another tool under development. We’re shooting to have these going out once a month starting in February. Until then, you can always subscribe to an RSS feed reader or check in here as you have time and inclination.

Blog Spammers
You might have noticed we occasionally have some unwelcome spam comments that show up. I try and delete these as I see them, but can’t always catch them immediately. We’ve debated back and forth about the merits and drawbacks of leaving comments without any kind of “moderation” in place; at present, we still feel the benefits of instantaneous upload outweigh the annoyances of spam; however, we are now going to be “banning” IP addresses that are clearly spamming us. Hopefully, that will help.
