The LETS! van is out of service

  I regret to have to inform the community that the LETS! van is out of commission until further notice. We did not get funding and have had very few riders use the service, so it is not feasible to keep it running. As well, the van is seeming to need tranny work (any volunteer mechanics out there?!).

Google shuts Microsoft out!

This is pretty big news.  Not terribly surprising to those of us who have had to provide support for Microsofts buggy, insecure software, but a big move and a fairly damning blow to Microsoft.

Wa Na Bei Marimba Players

Don and Josie ran a Marimba workshop series last Fall.  The marimba music is infectious and Don and Josie are wonderful, patient instructors.  The capstone was a performance of two pieces at Grub and Groove in Dec.  Here are a few video excerpts from that performance:

LETS! - Vanpool and Survey

Vanpool
LETS! is working on starting a Vanpool service during key ferry times. Because so many residents rely on the ferry deliveries of groceries and various goods, the Vanpool will also accomodate grocery and package delivery for a fee.

Chocolates, food and electric cars

Well, I was lucky enough to be able to take some photographs of Deb's chocolates and eat the props.  The lavendar chocolate is to die for - heads up for all those people looking to score some bonus points on Valentines Day as this is at least 150 points, per chocolate.
