so apparently we have a new “logo” — representin’!!!

The new logo, “Athens: Life Unleashed,” cost the CVB $8,170 to develop. Work on the logo included six months of research involving tourist interviews, focus groups conducted with meeting planners and tourism professionals and Internet surveys with people who had requested visitor information on Athens. link

$8,170 and a big public unveiling later and they still don’t have the logo posted to their website yet. awesome.

Jerry Falwell, Leading Religious Conservative, Dies at 73
jesus may have wept, but i let out a sigh of relief.
i think my mother put it best in her email to me:

I also sent you a NYTimes obit for the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who is NOT doing so well. I was stunned to learn as I left [work] at 12:30 p.m. that he had been taken,unconscious, to Lynchburg General Hospital. He passed away at 12:40 p.m. Liberty’s graduation is this weekend, but Dr. Falwell graduated early.

i was very disappointed to learn that i can’t access the comic maker on the bbc doctor who website (at least until I find an alternate proxy), but this totally made up for it!
