Hi Buffistas!

I know this is a scary time, financially, for a lot of people, but I'm going to ask you to consider throwing in some bucks for board upkeep. It's been an incredible community effort, keeping this place running, and we all have to pull together to keep it going.

I'm going to post reminders more often through the fall, so if you happen to have some extra dough, by all means send it. If you don't have it now, I'll ask you again later. Remember that if we all chip in, it doesn't take much to pay our bills here. So please, do chip in.

You can Paypal to donations at buffistas dot org, or email me for my mailing address if you want to send a check.

Thank you.

…we’d like a poster of Salma Hayek for our cell, please. No reason.

Hear ye, hear ye!

I have created a poll to narrow down date and location preferences for Buffista F2F 2009. This is a non-binding poll, meant to give us a focus and direction for F2F 2009 planning. If you have any questions or concerns, please raise them in the F2F thread.

VOTE!

I'm heading to CA on a business trip. Unfortunately, I'll have very little free time, but if it could work to connect with someone, that would be great. I'll be arriving in San Jose on the afternoon of the 19th and heading down to Monterey, where I'll be attending and speaking at the Internet Librarian conference. The conference gets over on the 22nd, when I head back. If you think we might be able to connect, let me know in F2F, or email me at my profile addy.

Results from the F2F 2009 informal poll are here: juliana "F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us" Oct 15, 2008 12:13:04 pm PDT

BSG return date from Ausiello:

Question: What the frak! Is Battlestar Galactica ever returning? -- Ken

Ausiello: Good news: A Sci Fi source confirms to me exclusively that the last half of season 4 premieres on Friday, Jan. 16, at 10 p.m. Which, by my calculations, puts the series finale (boo-hoo!) at Friday, March 20. Viewing party at Tim Stack's place, and you're all invited.

(Bold and red mine.)

…and he’d get a bulk discount rate on those solid gold toilets.

So travels with child is a year old at the end of the month. I'm kind of in awe - with the help of a number of people here, we've rolled out 250 posts, and crossed a couple of big traffic threshholds. We're running ad-free. It's a lot of fun. And in the midst of everything else, I'm very grateful for it.

I went back and read the postcards we did for mother's day and thought it would be a good part of the one-year hoopla if I opened that up again...

So if you've wanted to post something about a trip you took w/ your parents that rocked, or a trip you took with your kid that was something special - or whatever - pick up a blank card here: at our flickr group and drop one in the flickr group.
