Constants Change.

Yours truly is finally moving to donated hosting over the next few days and there may be down time. In case of trouble you can access a temporary duplicate system at http://Bedno.com
That domain was planned as a future site focusing on photos and video, but for right now it's a "mirror" until the move is complete. Don't expect it all to work, but the calendars and more look fine.

Check out the new photos of Cafe Lura from last Saturday, they're way cool. Also our WCKG segment from last month has been encoded and is available using our media search.

Broken record-wise: Advertising, sponsorship, donations and job offers are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED so I can get that new Ivory back scratcher.
