A friend of mine has created a fun event to promote reading.  It is a read-a-thon!

Independent bookstores across the country are invited to have a 24-hour reading marathon this October.  It started last year at a local bookstore and has taken off this year to include many other bookstores across the country.  In fact they are now getting some media attention, which is pretty darn cool.

A few weeks back I blogged on the idea of our company going to a four day work week.  After some discussions and deliberations we have decided to make the move.

Starting August 1st we will be focused on a Monday - Thursday schedule with someone monitoring the support email on Fridays.

This is a quick reminder/FYI for you Flex folks.  Nick Kwiatkowski is putting on a great Flex Camp in Michigan next week.  The price can't be beat ($40 for 2 days).  If you are anywhere in the area you should make it your goal to attend.  If your not in the area you should try to get a cheap flight since the conference is so inexpensive.

The conference is limited to only 150 people so be sure to get a ticket ASAP before they sell out.

So I am sure many of my blog readers are wondering:

Just what would happen if I left my Prius running all night?  Would it kill my battery?  Would my cart just auto shut off at some point?  Would it explode?  Would it make annoying noises and embarrass me in front of my neighbors?

I made some badges for people to put on their site for the upcoming RIAdventure cruise.

I used a service called Sprout Builder, which is a flex based app that lets us easily build widgets.  I have to say it was DARN easy to make these.  I had them done in minutes, which may show, but hey it works right? :-)  I could make them multiple views, embed video and audio, slideshows, etc.  Pretty darn slick.

Time flies when your having fun.  Stop by our UG meeting tonight where we distribute some Adobe shwag (thanks Adobe!) and discuss all the latest announcements / ideas from the past two months of conferences.

Meeting at The Press Room, 6pm tonight.

The 4 day work week seems to be gaining popularity.  We have discussed it in the office, though nothing definitive as of yet. 

The idea we are mulling is that everyone works 10 HR days for 4 days.  Monday - Thursday.
