Just a quick note to let everyone know that the free Batdorf WiFi is back online and working again. Rumor has it "heavy community pressure" led some enterprising technician from Zhonka to venture downtown to figure out the problem, and found that one of the cables had been plugged into the wrong cable patch panel in the back office during some troubleshooting of un-related office network problems. Good surfing everyone! Cosmo Blogged with Flock

I am wondering, after looking for months on craigslist. Does anyone want to sell me their Toyota Echo or Corolla. I'm looking for one that is 1999 to 2003. I would like AC, either manual or automatic, prefer 4 doors. I will pay cash so if you are thinking of trading yours in on a new car please let me know and I would love to talk about it.

Oct 13 2006 - 7:00pm Oct 13 2006 - 9:00pm Tonight at 7pm, a group of people will be reading works by (and for) Samuel Beckett. This year is the 100th anniversary of his birth, and the reading is in commemoration of that. Selections will be read from: "Texts for Nothing", "Malloy", "Watt", and a video of the play "Play" will be shown, and some of Beckett's poetry will be read. In addition, an introduction to "Play" will be performed. This is a work entitled "Whole Language Language" and is written by Kenneth Gaburo. The performers will be: Elizabeth Williamson, Todd Kimmich, Kate Arvin, Scott Nichols, Arun Chandra, and possibly Leonard Schwartz and Zhang Er. The event is free and open to the public.
