New news is good news
So...
Speakeasy officially launched April 4. It was kind of a painful process, being that Katie and I were roped into doing the design ourselves (and doing it poorly). We went with "ok, this works" rather than "hey this is cool." Bummer. Anyway, with much guidance and support from our friendly, neighborhood Bob Benz, things are looking on the up and up. He's got us working with Chris Stearns, a pro, to beef up our site and not only make it work, but make it look good. Ow, ow! Maybe we won't be embarrassed to wear our shirts now!!
Furthermore, he's going to work with our OJ kids to do an independent study fall quarter with his Knoxville team to keep working on it. Northwestern kids, lookout!
Once again, our team is excited about the project and are not, in the words of Bob, being beaten by our own technology.
We're looking at having her up and running within the next couple of weeks. Right now, we're in the midst of administrational mumbo jumbo in terms of selecting editors and management for next year. We're also trying to organize our summer publishing schedule. Phew.
Since our spring break in the basement is over, we'll try and update the blog a little more religiously. Helps that we're excited about this again ;P
