Website, Anyone?

***I vaguely remember a puppy when I lived at 3469 Norma in S. Lake Tahoe, but I don't remember why. It wasn't under my watch, rather Sandy's, whom I rented my patio apartment from. Anyway, click the pic to blow it up, and check out Bernie's leery face***

It is 840am Central Standard Time; Sunday, March 1. I have been in this room since 800a on Saturday, February 28. There is a big clock projected on a huge screen in front of me, counting down. It is now at 18 mintues and 20 seconds. The clock started at 24 hours. 

ACES, the nonprofit I work for, along with 11 other nonprofits, was selected to receive a new website courtesy of technology geeks metro wide. Each nonprofit was assigned a team of about one dozen web developers and the like. The kicker is, the tech teams had 24 hours to build their nonprofit a new website. There was no prior collaboration between techies and their nonprofit. In fact, the two were not matched up until the clock began ticking, now 23 hours, 45 minutes ago. For the dozen tech groups, this is an official competition.

Our site rocks, though it needs to be de-bugged and styled, so it will be a week or two before it is actually live and in stereo. I will post the link here when it is good to go, so come back. In the meantime, for being such a faithful reader, I have embedded the following video, which was shot Saturday morning and will appear on the website when it goes live. Check it out, yo:
