Two weeks ago, we sent out a physical postcard invitation to a list of about 10,000 potential FOSS4G attendees in the local region (BC, ALTA, WA, OR, CA) and GIS hotspots (VA, CO).
On Sunday, I sent out a mass email to about 1,000 addresses culled from my personal mail box, web searches, and magazine mailing list purchases.
Monday and Tuesday, the FOSS4G web site recorded the highest number of visitors to date, about a 50% increase over the medium term weekday average. It’s almost like advertising has a purpose. I feel my universe crumbling.

Third, a Real Strawberry is a perfect red color, and is perfectly clean right off the bush. You don’t wash Real Strawberries, because they don’t have anything on them that needs washing:
Finally, Real Strawberries are red all the way through, because they are ripe on the bush:
If you are lucky, you can grow enough Real Strawberries to have a whole dessert from them, like I did tonight:
Oh, yeah, mmmmmm, Real Strawberries, you make life worth living.
