Not staying at a downtown Grand Rapids hotel? Go green!Consider carpooling to downtown Grand Rapids to help meet the challenges of parking and save gas. If you are interested in carpooling, post your name, email address and area from where you are commuting (NE, SE, NW, SW Grand Rapids). You don't need to publicly announce where you are staying, but just list your email address and GR quadrant and post to this forum so others can contact you about ride sharing.See More

Skyping to Japan ... and back

We had the wonderful opportunity to visit Scott in Japan a few years ago with our two sons who were teenagers at the time (now 20 and 22).

The videolink was made with a simple Skype… Continue

At 2:23pm on May 24, 2007, Ric Wiltse said…: Thanks Ben. After seeing all the esoteric photos, I thought I'd better change my boring one. The photo was taken last year in San Diego when I was attending NECC.

At 4:05pm on May 24, 2007, Kevin J. Galbraith said…: Ric, you need to edit the photo to show your white iPod earbuds!

Also, I noticed the Corporate Advisory Council Forum group. Do you want that to be by invitation only? or private?

At 8:30am on May 25, 2007, Marion Ginopolis said…: This site is fabulous! I have created a MI-LIFE group, started a discussion thread, and uploaded a photo of the MI-LIFE core faculty. Now all I need is for people to join my group!!!!

At 8:33am on May 25, 2007, Ric Wiltse said…: Glad you joined MACUL Space, Marion! Cool that you've set up a forum for MI Life. Welcome aboard!

At 8:38am on May 25, 2007, Ricki Chowning said…: Thanks, Ric. I'm still a newbee to this kind of communication so I appreciate the opportunity to use it and practice. I too thunk I'll change my photo soon. I thought the retreat went very well. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and pace. I'm going to have to get a lesson from someone about maculspace, though, so I can use it to its potential.
