The building is apparently staying open for this coming school year and I've been requesting that we get put back into the best floor on campus. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;It won't be the same without you guys in there, but it is still better than Caldwell. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;There is still a possibility we'll be living in &lt;a href="http://www.housing.gatech.edu/assignments/reshalls_detail.cfm?BldgID=109" target="_blank"&gt;Caldwell&lt;/a&gt;, but hopefully FFM remains our home&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Like every good family...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Since we all know that 2nd Fitten isn't just a floor, it's a&lt;img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px" height="301" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3303/3512027796_86d7cd0491.jpg?v=0" width="206" align="right" /&gt; family, we'll be doing some type of family reunion in the fall. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Whether its doing a Friday Night Hangout where you guys join our new residents on our weekly tradition, or a cookout at the  volleyball courts &lt;a href="http://www.facilities.gatech.edu/campusmaps/bldngmodel.php?id=0349" target="_blank"&gt;(Alumni Park),&lt;/a&gt; we'll do something that we can all enjoy. More details to come on that activity soon. It will probably occur within the first week or two of school since I'm sure everyone is anxious to meet up and share summer stories.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;In addition to the reunion, we'll have that block so we can all spend some time together on game day (tailgate anyone?). In the mean time, there's always &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/2ndfitten/following" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;j&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;r&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;o&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;u&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;r&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;u&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;r&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I’m headed back to Atlanta on 31 July.

In the first annual event we combined many ideas to create a “carnival like” with a variety of &lt;strong&gt;FREE&lt;/strong&gt; food (grilled food, cotton candy, popcorn, etc) and a bragging rights contest to go along with it. The success of the first Hall Olympics was beyond what most expected from a freshman Hall Council. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This year’s Hall Olympics will follow in the tradition of the past two tournaments to crown a Hall as the “&lt;em&gt;best of the west&lt;/em&gt;” (&lt;strong&gt;Fitten&lt;/strong&gt; [FFM] won the 1st year and I believe Caldwell [FCA] won last year). I’m sure our floor, &lt;strong&gt;2nd Fitten&lt;/strong&gt;, will &lt;em&gt;put on&lt;/em&gt; and the trophy will be back in the hands of the original residence hall. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’ll try to do my part to go to both this event AND the T-Day game (more on that later) since they have both been scheduled for the same time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;Hall Olympics Event Times&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soccer&lt;/strong&gt;: 12-2&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sack race&lt;/strong&gt;: 12-12:30      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jousting&lt;/strong&gt;: 12-1      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ultimate &lt;/strong&gt;(Frisbee): 2-3:30      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3-Legged Race&lt;/strong&gt;: 1-1:30&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doughnut eating contest&lt;/strong&gt;: 2:30-3&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tug&lt;/strong&gt;: 3-3:30&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;A Message to FFM residents&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Hello Residents of &lt;strong&gt;FFM&lt;/strong&gt;:      &lt;br /&gt;The time has come to compete against &lt;strong&gt;Folk&lt;/strong&gt;/&lt;strong&gt;Caldwell&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Hefner&lt;/strong&gt;/&lt;strong&gt;Armstrong&lt;/strong&gt; in order to win this year's Hall Olympics.

ALSO, we’ll try and figure out a way to rank them after we’ve narrowed it down to 10.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Here are a few i’ve brainstormed (with some help):&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;We’re just friends (a certain PL when referring to a certain friend)&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Wooo!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Go Go Diego&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Woo hoo!

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; is catching on rapidly around here, and I’m glad. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So now that you’re becoming somewhat addicted to Twitteronia, there are a few other uses for Twitter that you might want to know about:&lt;img style="display: inline;

Manage to do lists&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2. Set a timer&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3. Add a Google Calendar item&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="155" src="http://static.twitter.com/images/whale.png" width="201" align="right" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;4. Get your flight information&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;5. Track your expenses&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;6. Get news alerts&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;7. Track packages&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;8. Freelancers: track job time&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; “&lt;em&gt; Keep the Fail Whale away” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;9. Keep track of gas mileage&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;10.

The crime-scene is the motorcycle parking lot right in front of Fitten. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The motorcycle must’ve been taken at some point between Monday night and Tuesday morning.

Maybe you can help. &lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Check out some of the &lt;a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/place/fBmF6VqbAplEROX." target="_blank"&gt;awesome events&lt;/a&gt; occurring in Atlanta during the break. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Enjoy the “Great Outdoors”. &lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="153" src="http://z.about.com/d/esl/1/0/K/2/camping.gif" width="232" align="right" border="0" /&gt;      &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;There are plenty of parks around Atlanta to go camping/hiking at:          &lt;ul&gt;           &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nps.gov/kemo/" target="_blank"&gt;Kennesaw Mountain&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stonemountainpark.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Stone Mountain&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;            &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.helenga.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Helen, Georgia&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://georgiagetaway.com/parks.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;the rest of North Georgia&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;         &lt;/ul&gt;       &lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Experienced Student Tip&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPORTANT&lt;/strong&gt;- You probably have no idea just how much &lt;strong&gt;crap&lt;/strong&gt; you’ve &lt;strong&gt;accumulated&lt;/strong&gt; so far living on campus. It would &lt;strong&gt;behoove&lt;/strong&gt; you to begin taking as much as possible of your stuff back home starting next week (&lt;em&gt;spring break&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;&lt;em&gt;One Question&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Is ANYONE planning on staying here? I know that I’ll (Hector) be staying here for the break. Mostly relaxing, but I’ll be doing some of the things on the list such as volunteering and going to the Beesball games. If you are staying, let me know.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;What are YOU doing for Spring Break? Are you staying here? Going somewhere? Did the student tip come in handy? &lt;a href="http://2ndfitten.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring-break-is-in-air.html#comments"&gt;Comment!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;  &lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link href="http://2ndfitten.blogspot.com/feeds/697465783714671595/comments/default" rel="replies" title="Post Comments" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://2ndfitten.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring-break-is-in-air.html#comment-form" rel="replies" title="0 Comments" type="text/html"/><link href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/596873866067498021/posts/default/697465783714671595" rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/596873866067498021/posts/default/697465783714671595" rel="self" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://2ndfitten.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring-break-is-in-air.html" rel="alternate" title="Spring (Break) Is In The Air" type="text/html"/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09834739618147090941</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image height="16" rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" src="https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" width="16"/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596873866067498021.post-7488860538556325056</id><published>2009-03-09T15:53:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T15:53:53.836-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Opportunities"/><title type="text">Tatango</title><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" src="http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/tatangologo.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Today, some of you might’ve received an invitation to the Tatango network and you probably wondered what it was you were signing up for. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;According to Their Website&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Tatango offers the simplest, most effective way for groups to communicate through their mobile phones. As an all in one solution, Tatango allows you to collect, manage and mobile message all your contacts both from your computer and mobile phone. Group text messaging and voice calling has never been so easy!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;So Why Did You Send Me This Crap?&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I invited everyone on the floor to sign up for Tatango so that we can &lt;strong&gt;communicate&lt;/strong&gt; with you about events and opportunities to you easily to your phone.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;So it’s like &lt;a href="http://2ndfitten.blogspot.com/2009/03/twitter.html" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In a way, yes. However, Twitter is for Micro-blogging. This is more of a mass-messaging system. “&lt;em&gt;Think of it as sort of an SMS-sized newsletter&lt;/em&gt;” &lt;font size="1"&gt;(&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://mashable.com/2008/07/30/tatango/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Mashable&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Oops, I didn’t accept or get the invite.

 &lt;h4&gt;What are we doing?&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Every time that you get a &lt;strong&gt;good grade&lt;/strong&gt; back, whether it be on a (&lt;u&gt;tests/quiz/projects/homework&lt;/u&gt;) we’ll take a photo of it (with or without your face showing off the grade) and post it on the blog on an online version of a refrigerator door.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;When does this start?&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The first edition will begin &lt;strong&gt;tomorrow&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;(Friday 6 March 2009)&lt;/em&gt; and a new set of pictures will be released &lt;strong&gt;every Friday&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Other stuff about this…&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;There is no prize as of now for whoever gets the most grades posted&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Getting your good grade posted should be some kind of &lt;strong&gt;incentive&lt;/strong&gt; for you to do well in your tests/quiz/projects/homework&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;IMPORTANT- &lt;font color="#800000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You gotta let me know whenever you do well so that I can go ahead and take a picture of the test&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;We’re doing photos because this way you can keep the test in case you need it in the future.&lt;/li&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;For our purposes, we’ll be counting &lt;strong&gt;As &amp;amp; Bs&lt;/strong&gt; as good grades&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;YES, curves do count &lt;/li&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Only grades earned within the past week will be added to the fridge&lt;/li&gt;
