October 20, 2004, 3:09 PM – Updated Splash Page with a line saying, "Please pardon our dust while we remodel to better serve you," as the annual redesign officially begins.
October 19, 2004, 12:24 AM – A very long-winded entry in my Journal (or here for old Life and Times location) about the Million Worker March that I attended. And I really had a blast. Read and see. One reason the write-up for the journal is so long-winded is because with my having taken over 150 photos, as well as eighteen movies, I'm going to do a photo set, probably for Life and Times, and I want to have as much detail as possible about the march in written form while the memory is still fresh.
October 16, 2004, 8:06 PM – Web Cam section has now officially been retired, having been removed from the top of all pages. The new test section, Journal, replaces it on the header.
