This and That and a Cool New Map on GoNOMAD

by Max Hartshorne on May 19, 2008

We are settling into life under the new managers of the cafe. I slaved away for half of Sunday, and even though I was so tired I had to nap after my shift, it was good to be there and welcome the customers and to know once again how hard it is to do that kind of work. Some times my hands need a little toughening up after weeks of typing on a keyboard or talking on the phone.

I owe a shout out and a thank you to gentleman who’s helped us out many times. Don Miller and his son run Northampton Rental, and every so often we drive down to rent glasses for a party or tablecloths for some event. This last time he just waved me away and said, ýou’re all set’ when I tried to pay for my rental. That was nice of him and he deserves a thank you.

We have created a whole new look and some cool new features on GoNOMAD.com, adding a map you can click to find articles about that continent. We’re happy to have Manjula, one of our talented web designers, who worked on this for us here in the office.

Got the men together last night for a rousing and very satisfying night of poker. Dave C even brought up a huge poker table, with requisite spaces for drinks and places to keep chips from falling away. I managed to win some hands and it was great to have the six of us together again.
