Jordan and I met with Rick yesterday to update him about our project.

Remember on April 1, the first draft of content due, giving us only three weeks to put the website together. We thought of picking a date in April where we can really sit down and work with each other for significant progress on the website. Perhaps on a Saturday?...we could meet at my (Sally) house, where I will provide snacks and such. What do you guys think about this? I'll throw out April 11 starting at noon as an option.

During our conversation, Rick mentioned other bits and pieces that we may or may not want to incorporate in our project:
-The mess with the coupons (Anthony, maybe ask the people in your profile piece if they have tried to use one, if they had ever even heard of such a thing)

-A similar event in scope of this digital switch is the black/white to color broadcast transition, also mandated by the FCC (Jordan)

-With the fall of newspapers and perhaps with this switch, what does that imply for the future of information through technology? (Jordan, Sally and/or Anthony?)

We also brought up how Hawaii is coping. With the lack of coverage about it, let's assume they have done okay. Now let's hope for the best for the rest of us!

Thanks,
Sally

P.S.
Please reply with your thoughts on a April day-long session to build the web page.
