We received some nice press in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review recently. We were interviewd for an article titled “Blogs offer new avenue for businesses”:
Brides-to-be love to read anything pertaining to weddings. That’s why the owners of a Butler floral shop reach out to them through a blog, or Web log, that invites their comments.
Richard and Kathy Dudley of The Bloomery post messages and pictures with wedding ideas: Mini bouquets can be made with a deep purple calla lily that looks almost black, for example.

Well, it’s not quite the Powerball, but still pretty cool:
Congratulations. You won 8th Prize in the April 2006 Contest. As you may know, a lot of people competed, but only a few won. Nicely done! Please also keep in mind that your prize is not just a stupid, geeky gift, but it’s also a symbol to represent your contributions to the development community. When folks ask you how you won, you can tell them that it was by helping out other geeks. Be proud and brag.
My prize was Polarity; you can see the other prizes from last month at http://www.community-credit.com/CommunityCreditPrizePage.aspx (as well as this month’s prizes).
Utilizing the forces of magnetism, players take turns placing hovering magnetic discs on the board in order to impose chaos on their opponent. This chaos, which causes discs that are in play to come together in a flash of magnetic frenzy, results in scoring opportunities. Stacks of more than one disc (towers) are counted as points and the player with the most points at the end of a game wins. Those are the basics.
Want to compete for June? Get on board at www.communitycredit.com. This month’s prizes are totally cool, so don’t sign up yet. Seriously. Wait until June.
