Have a great idea for a business and looking for help and inspiration? Check this out:

What a great idea. Kudos to those bringing this to Charlottesville.

Confused about the whole GoDaddy/SOPA controversy: here's a primer from the Next Web
I’m not afraid to admit that I’ve found myself completely confused by the Stop Online Piracy Act, better known as SOPA. Politicians bank on Internet users being confused about the act as well, so it’s time to brush up on your SOPA knowledge.
One awesome (and anonymous) person decided to put together a short but sweet Google Doc called “SOPA For Dummies” and it cleared some things up for me, hopefully it will do the same for you.

Eleanor Henderson reads from her highly acclaimed debut novel, Ten Thousand Saints on 6.28.11, Barnes and Noble in Charlottesville
Tomorrow (Tuesday) night, my friend, former JMU Professor and former Crozet resident Eleanor Henderson is reading from her debut novel, Ten Thousand Saints at 7pm at Barnes and Noble in Charlottesville.
Since it hit the bookshelves in early June, the book (and/or Eleanor) have been featured on the cover of the NY TImes Sunday Review of Books, NPR, O Magazine, the New Yorker website, the Washington Post, The Daily News, and on and on....all to great acclaim. Positive reviews are due out this month in Vogue and Entertainment Weekly....It's pretty darn exciting for a debut novel.
Join us if you can!

Charlottesville New Construction: Ken and Dawn's Dream Home is finished!
Despite my good intentions, I have fallen way behind in keeping you up on the progress on Ken and Dawn's dream home. The house is now DONE and they moved in Mother's Day weekend. It was a great project and a great process. I am excited for their family.
Here is a slideshow of the home build from sheetrock to settlement. I know Ken and Dawn have added some personal touches in the meantime - custom paint and the backsplash in their fabulous kitchen - for example. Can't wait to see the house again.
