thanx to all, for the help with thinkquest opinion below - it got to us and helped with our focus ( we will target closer to our current age late high school to early university) ...and it helped point us to new ideas that we hadnt thought about.. for example we took paper/organization skills for granted, whereas lots people seem need and suggested organization tools that make paperwork of business easier- thanx, we will make sure we build lots of that into our site !

oh, and im getting Bell symp DSL.. and want to use ehternet hub so share the net access, if anyone knows where to get small ethernet hub, maybe a 4port is fine, or can give me a hand figuring out how to set it up after i get it, - let me know!

hmm.. you would think this came right out of some arcane high-level art/architectural theory textbook...wouldn't you? nopers, this was the tour guide , New College residence (U of T) today. Found it hard to pay attention, going to the new college orientation today - if I go to SFSU none of this will matter.. yeah, i got accepted to SFSU , now the next step is to see if i can get the money, filling out OSAP / CSL... theres no way i can pull a cyber presentation to persuade them to give me lots of $ , its ALL through cold, sterile, pre-structured online forms (darn!)

Thinkquest entry on "youth entrepreneuring" successfully created/proposal submitted even tho i had to skip art to make phone call to enlist coach, but then I went back to forrest, got her to sign yearbook . (Most of friday after submitting the proposal , was yearbook-signing -in Cybercentre)

and n@ru out of the blue has resurfaced all the way from Tokyo - hi naru!

ok, that naru asked and a few ppl are wondering, right now the thinkquest entry proposal is just being reviewed. in meantime, i've put some general info on a temporary page - basically if anyone has any leads to stories on young entrepreneurs (even if in Tokyo) , that would be interesting to have on our thinkquest site let us know!
