All Quiet on the Monday Front

11 08 2008

A subdued day today at the office. Not that many people here today. Pretty is busy all week, Imran had an ortho appointment closely followed by a dental appointment, so he was were for a few hours only. Kelvin came in at about 11 and he, Wendy and myself have been busily working away all day. Things are really starting to take shape. In terms of Microcredit, the website is now fully operational. We’re putting together a hit list of potential sponsors and drafting up the solicitation letter that we’re going to be sending out to them. We’re still deliberating over who the Champion of our Challenge shall be. Meanwhile, we’re busily signing up participants. I pulled off a major coup, having a friend of mine sign up William’s school (with me as the reference). Take that, William!

The YouthCanada website is coming along nicely. We’re working on finding more programs to feature, we’re collecting articles to post, and yeah, everything is coming along peachy.

And yeah, we got a lot of work done today (those of us that were here). His Highness Alex graced us with a lunchtime visit, bringing along a friend, Rhea. ‘Twas a good day, if not the most dynamic one.

Cheers,

Matt





Faceball Friday

11 08 2008

Due to some technical difficulties (with myself being approved as an administrator of the blog), Friday’s post has been postponed a few days. Nevertheless, what an awesome way it was to end the week! After having completed and sent out the information package for the microcredit competition, the team got to enjoy a faceball competition/party with the bootuplabs staff. Unfortunately, yours truly was knocked out in the second round. But oh well, I only lost to the best, as Kimberly (who destroyed me) emerged as the faceball champion of bootuplabs. Quite ironically though, the sign welcoming people to the party said “booze free” on one side, and “with booze” on the other.
