Grand Central is MIA

A while back, a friend of mine told me about Grand Central, a tool from Google that allows you to make and record phone calls through the Web. Sounds impossibly cool...and impossible to get. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but it was an invite only tool...which is not out of invites. Or maybe they're working out the kinks. In any event, I can't wait for it to become available.

Whoops. I thought you meant my blog; my blog is through Wordpress, but I put my website together on my own using xhtml, css and a little php. I thank w3schools.com for that!

That's cool that you moved your website to wordpress. Can I recommend you put a . between wordpress and com on your old site's link to your new site?

This is actually DePaul's first year as a J-School. The Communication Department broke off from Liberal Arts & Sciences last year and formed the College of Communication. They're now offering B.A.s and M.A.s in Journalism and a bunch of other Comm.-type stuff.
