Hearing John Coltrane, Blue Train Hi everybody. As posted in the Journals Message Board, our new Guest Editor's Picks are up on the Journals Main Page:

Our Guest Editor this week is Brandy, a mom of four, graphic tag artist, and keeper of the blog My World, My Rant. Here is her blog entry, where she talks about her top picks and more:

* Detached and Indifferent Expressions
* A Fallen Angel Under a Dark Moon
* The Inside of Being a SAHM
* Journally Yours
* I Have Tea
* Something New

In other news, it's been a little more quiet than last week. Thankfully. Which is not to say that we're slacking over here -- we're just not running around putting out fires related to the database transition.

Oh, that reminds me: I had a request from some folks a while back to get a picture of the machines that host Journals. It was kind of a non-starter, because the admins take the physical security of the hardware very seriously, so access is limited.  (Think 'Mission: Impossible' or 'Alias'-limited.)

After the database migration, I was hoping to get a photo of one of the old machines after they decommissioned it.  Alas, it was not to be.

However, I was able to find an artist's depiction.

Talk to you later folks. Have a good weekend. Thanks. -- Joe

  Thanks for trying Joe!
  I always knew AOL was powered by hamsters. Something about hearing the pitter patter of liitle feet when I log on ;-)

  LOL .. great artist's depiction .. I'm sure there are a few J-Landers who might think that it's the real deal .. ha .. considering some of the troubles I read about.
  
  The kid got a C?
  geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz
  He got a D in the course?!
  Man ....
  
  I guess my standards must have slipped when I wasn't lookin' cuz I though it was a very decent project ... ok ... it won't get the Shuttle off the ground, but neither can NASA.
