The Rundown, 09-02-07

It may or may not be a busy day today. I am actually working fairly diligently on getting the site up and ready for the switch-over which should occur in the next two weeks. Again, this shouldn't really affect any end-users, but if you start getting a bunch of 404 (Page Not Found) errors when trying to access the site, I will give you the new IP Address and you can surf over there by that, then update your bookmarks. I have another post about this coming up shortly.

I have some cool news to get out to you - some of it a bit dated by now, I admit - but a lot of it is just hit-and-run, so I figured I'd do one of our signature Rundowns to start things off:

Oh, and remember: the bank don't sell liquor and The Rundown don't cash checks.
