I sent out the first elfster invites for ANSSWSGE 2012. Here are the other important dates:
Sign-up deadline is 10/28 Drawing names (done electronically - you cannot have who you had last year) will be 11/1 Gift Giving Deadline is 12/31
And as I do every year I encourage people to communicate or gift multiple times and generally mess with your giftee. Otherwise it is just me doing that and it ruins it.
This is my firend Carolyn's kickstarter. Small business -- that is looking to get their own kitchen and employe a few people . This is the seed money for the kitchen. Donate , spread the word , or just torture yourself by looking at pie.

Methinks several of y'all can empathize with my message!
SO, HEY! the sign-up deadline came and went for ANSSWSGE 2012. AND the names were drawn electronically this morning.. one person who had expressed interest never accepted the elfster invite (I will email), so for A FEW HOURS ONLY!!! 3 hours from this post time, in fact, you too can get in on the ANSSWSGE 2012 action. Email me at my profile addy and I will get you added.
AND - if anyone has a question or problem with who they got in the draw, (GETTING ME CANNOT BE A PROBLEM, IT IS A BLESSING) you can email me and we will work it out.

Any Canadianistas use the Nook Color? Friend of relative thinking about getting it for her daughter; wondered if there were weird international accessibility issues?
(Can reply in Tech or profile addy -- thanks for any info!)
All,
Beau is very involved with Playstation Madden NFL and plays in several leagues. His group is in need of some assistance with a web tool to track statistics for league games. This kind of web development is way outside my area of expertise, but I thought people here might be interested. He and his crew were members of leaguedaddy.com but it is now defunct and they are looking for an alternative that they will pay for. Below is his email to me about this, but if anyone here is interested or knows someone who might be interested for some side income, please give me a holler at profile addy.
I am looking for someone to create a database that will record stats for my Madden videogame league. Specifically, a site that will record NFL statistics similar to NFL stats.
For example, I have 20 owners in my league.
Each owner utilizes a team with offensive and defensive players. When we input our data we need to be able to record offensive stats (for Halfbacks, Receivers, Quarterbacks) defensive stats (tackles, sacks, interceptions, fumbles) and team stats (3rd down conversions, yards gained, Total Rushing/Passing yards, etc.).
