			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just came across an <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1553660/new-penny-designs-make-no-cents">article on Fast Company</a> about the re-design of the penny.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.beforeprofit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/lincoln-penny-2010.jpg"><img src="http://www.beforeprofit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/lincoln-penny-2010.jpg" alt="new penny design" title="lincoln penny 2010" width="310" height="155" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-221" /></a></p>
<p>Are you kidding me. With all the talented designers in this country, we get this? </p>
<p>Britain had a competition to re-design their currency, and they got <a href="http://www.royalmint.com/newdesigns/designsrevealed.aspx">this incredible coinage</a>. Why can&#8217;t we have a design off for ours too? I&#8217;m sure it would probably end up costing less than it did to pay for this overpriced garbage design.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the Photobooth business is going pretty well so far. It would be great if I had some more money to spend to make things even better with it, but isn&#8217;t that what starting a business is all about? Being strapped for cash in the begining&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh well&#8230; So I&#8217;ve joined a few associations recently! The first decision I finally made was to join up with the <a href="http://muskegon.org">Muskegon Chamber of Commerce</a>.</p>
<p>I also recently joined the West Michigan Wedding Association&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.westmichiganweddingassociation.com/"><img src="http://www.westmichiganweddingassociation.com/images/logowr.gif"></a></p>
<p>So thats an update to some of the new things I belong to now!</p>
<p>ANNNDDDDDDD&#8230;&#8230;<br />
I&#8217;ve made a pretty major update to my <a href="http://thephotoboothcompany.com">Photobooth Company website.</a><br />
<a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/just-an-idea/1189714942"><img class="tt-flickr" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1128/1189714942_3289c9c901.jpg" width="500" height="396" alt="The Photobooth Company V2.0" /></a><br />
I figured it was time to get a little bit more info up there, and try and make my site just a touch nicer than <a href="http://www.uptownphotobooths.com/">this other photobooth rental site</a> that is also listed in the <a href="http://www.westmichiganweddingassociation.com/vendors.php?category=0020">West Michigan Wedding Association</a>&#8230; Anyone like the music and animations from the 90&#8242;s he&#8217;s got going though? Old School right? Christ&#8230;.</p>
<p>And if you are bored, and feel like supporting me a little bit, please go and nominate me for <a href="http://www.westmichiganweddingassociation.com/business_of_the_year.php?member_id=137">Business of the Year</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/just-an-idea/999916349"><img class="tt-flickr" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1288/999916349_bc6fb4e5e4.jpg" width="500" height="267" alt="If I can't log on to my account why are you still providing a link?" /></a> </p>
<p>Today I tried logging on to my bank account to check on balances. Evidently the system is currently down, no big deal I guess. I can just check later.</p>
<p>What bothered me though was the format of the error message. If I can&#8217;t log on to my account because you are having problems why are you prominently displaying a link for me to try and log on again. </p>
<p>Instead maybe it would be a good idea to provide a form that would automatically e-mail me when the system is back up.</p>
<p>Just seems logical. If anything don&#8217;t push me a link for a broken service.</p>
