A few more items

Hey folks! Just wanted to give you an eye-full of brief info.

Rachel absolutely LOVES her Amazon Kindle digital book reader! It’s also been a huge hit with whomever she shows it too. I am very impressed by the technology and how it works. If you’re a big reader, I would greatly consider this.

There are 2 days left until this blog turns 1 year old! I still would be thrilled if we got that hit counter to read 4,000 by then. Keep coming back and getting your friends and family to do it too!

I am brainstorming on the next steps for XRT-FM. I am really missing it! I’m happy that I got a break from it and can take a new fresh perspective on it. If I was to put a re-launch date, I would estimate June 1st. Nothing set in stone, but you have to have goals!

I have been removing all references to MFO (meaning Marini Family.org). I have heard some feedback here and there for a while now and decided to change it up. I want this all to be as friendly as possible so we keep tweaking. If you catch any on any of these sites, please let me know!

I think I’ve mentioned it before, but please head to this SITE for a really good laugh. It’s family-safe and if you like kitties, you’ll love this site.

If you would like to participate in the blogging here, please let me know. I can set you up as an author and you can be involved!

That should be it for now. I’ll keep you updated as we go forward. Be good!

New header picture

UPDATE 4/17: Congratulations, the winner of our admiration and applause is Rachel! The header picture is that odd sculpture on I-80 westbound near the Utah/Nevada border. <CLAP,CLAP!>

(see comments section for more info)

Hey there. I still think my son and three nephews are the cutest things, but I wanted to mix things up. I wanted to let you guys guess a bit before I reveal what that picture is. If you know, that’s fine. Leave a comment with your guesses or answers. Then we can clap for whomever answers correctly first.

Have fun…

PS: Thanks for indulging me on the previous post!

Blog Split

Huddle up, team!! Here’s the skinny… What we gotta do is get out there and tear it up! I mean really rip ‘em to shreds!

<<ahem>> What I was trying to say a little theatrically was that I created a separate blog for all the XRT-FM related posts. It’s HERE. It felt like the natural thing to do, especially with all the 2.0 stuff going on. I think it really brings a better focus on my posting and your reading. If there are huge announcements, I will most likely post a small note here too.

Thanks,

-Timmy
