Okay, I have some interesting/good news for everyone, well, at least thats what I see it as. Anyway, here goes:
First off, I work for a company at my University, and design/run/maintain two websites for our division. They're pretty simple and bland, but that's the way they wanted them. Anyway, I would like to volunteer to design a website that would be easily maintainable by more than one person. We'd set up a news script that would allow users to login and post news, and the page itself would automatically update based on posted news. That wouldn't be too hard to setup. For an idea of some of the stuff I've worked on, I've done simple stuff, to more involved designs, although the second of the two I'm about to show don't show my limitations.

The first one is obviously for work, while the second is for a Counter-Strike team I play on. Anyway, both are pretty basic, but gives a small idea of some of the possibilities.
Secondly, and possibly just as important, my mom has a local cable TV show. Now I'm sure you're all wondering where this is going. Well, she wants me to be a guest on her show, interview me. I used to own a Pontiac Grand Am (yeah, wtf was I thinking? I'll never know), but had major problems with it, and ultimately traded it in for my beautiful MSP, and at a loss too. Anyway, she wants to interview me, talk about the process of switching cars, and ultimately get to the topic of my love for the car, and the things I've learned from owning it, and the people that I've met, which in turn leads to the club we're starting. Now I know it's not much, but she wants to show pics of the website, of some of the cars (from our previous meet), and talk about some of our events, as well as talk about future ones. I know it's not much, and it is just local cable, but exposure is exposure. It might enlighten some people--let them know that these car clubs aren't about racing and raging horomones. It's about sharing a common love/interest, just like people who go golfing, or people who spend a day out on the boat sailing or something (kinda distant relation but oh well).
Anyway, that's it for now... let me know what you all think, and if you think it would be good exposure. I'm all ears, and btw, I'm sure she'd be willing to have more than one guest if anyone else wanted to join the set for 15 minutes of fame. Please give me FEEDBACK!!! (attn)
