This is a test

Faves.com (a Seattle social bookmarking website) just released a new widget which I'm now using on StartPad.org.  The cool things about it are:

I recently helped a friend of mine set up a business website for her condo rental business on Kauai. The website is pretty simple, needing just a single main page to describe her property, provide her contact information, and display a calendar for it's availability.

It worked out pretty well, but took quite a bit longer than you'd think. Here's the basic task list:

On a recent flight, I was amused to see the following message displayed on an Airport Kiosk:

There are unused icons on your desktop.

I finally got around to replacing the old (and nearly worthless) static page for StartPad.org - this site now uses Drupal (a PHP based CMS system). This is my first experiment in using Drupal - so the site will look pretty rough for a while. Our hope is that, using this platform, we will be able to more easily provide some of the community features (forums, directory of service providers, directory of startups, etc.). If you're a Drupal-naut and would like to help - drop me a line at mckoss@startpad.org.
