Where has the summer gone? It seems Memorial Day was just a few weeks ago and now Labor Day looms!
So many projects to accomplish: moving all colleges and schools into the new Visual Identity Guidelines (my personal favorite is Human Sciences so far!); our new Emergency Communication System with ConnectEd; converting back issues of VISTA's; creating a microsite for parking challenges presented by the Marsha Sharp Freeway construction; just to name a few. No wonder time has flown. But thanks to a great team, Jon, Monica and Ryan) we're in great shape!
It's always exciting to see and hear the Goin' Band practicing, it makes me look forward to football season. Go Red Raiders!

Music and Lyrics [and video]
I'm always amazed at the power music and video have over us all. As I was home nursing a sick "tummy" yesterday, I had the opportunity to watch some shows I ordinarily would have clicked right by.
I'm no diehard country music fan, but Reba McEntire has a voice that is just out of this world and to see her paired with Kelly Clarkson's bluesy/edgy voice courtesy of CMT's Crossroads show was an experience I won't soon forget.
As a mom and an advocate for children in the foster court system of Lubbock County, this is ONE powerful song, with a powerful message (based on Clarkson's early family life as I found out on Wikipedia).

One of the coolest things we do here in the C&M Web Development office is track the hits to our site [we use Google Analytics--very cool and FREE].
We are constantly measuring and evaluating visitor behavior...tweaking this...moving that...to enhance the visitor experience and maximize the depth of each visit. It also gives us a little "pat on the back" when we put something out there that is really popular.
Some things like Low Rider Bikes and the Snow Video [I'll save this story for another time!] are like the Eveready Bunny...they just keep going and going...who knows why? Gretchen brought it to my attention this morning that we have experienced a SURGE in views of our May 2007 Commencement video featuring our new Chess Diva, Susan Polgar, thanks to a posting on chessbase.com.
