here we go again,

It feels really good to be back at it again. The sun-is-a-shining and we're hacking away at our 19' inch LCD and 4 week old MacBook, Alex and Mark, respectively.

A personalized get well message goes out to our close friend and almost co-founder Derek Shaw who was involved in a terrible bicycle accident.

Derek, we both wish you a safe and speedy recovery.

In tech. news most of today is going to be spent documenting and coding. We need to precisely define our interface. A lot of our homepage interface hasn't been done before, so the code we are writing is going to be 100% original. We're not worried though, we code borrow in other parts of the site *cough cough*, we'll meet our quota. Getting it right the first time however is a major concern.

These guys get it, most of the time. What does 'getting it' mean? It means making a sexy and user friendly interface, making site navigation intuitive, and not putting off users with unneeded eye candy.

We're bringing sexy back to homepages.

Score of today's street hockey game: Mark 76, Alex 2. Only one fall each and numerous swears.

So we managed to eat half of Alex's birthday cake in less than two hours.

Not much news today in tech. advancement. Alex is still trying to get version 1.0 done (basic account functionality and sign up). We decided that the best approach would be to do the VERY lethargic and boring actions first.

I (mark) have been completely filling in the nuts and bolts of a releasable site. And we are both really excited. We have some new innovations that will let you talk to your loved ones without .. well, let's not spoil it here.

Peter Frost, our logo expert, has sent us the newest ClutterMe logos. We're quite excited about them.

Today is Alex's last day at my house before he goes back to work for three half days... what a maroon this kid is. In total I'd say I have 30 pages of edited and re-edited word document HLD (high level requirement documents) and Alex has about 30 new pages of code.

As I mentioned before, we have some new ideas and we're REALLY freakin' excited about them. So yes, the weekend was a moderate success. The next couple of days will encompass coding from home. What's on the menu for tonight? Great pun accomplished because it's dinner with Alex's parents.

I think the most important thing we got out of this weekend was DIRECTION. "It's invaluable"- says Alex. We almost have a defined site. The next major step will be to pick out a nice template for our User Accounts page and just keep hacking.
