Next in line - a pair of fingerless mitts in the pattern "Fetching" in the same yarn. I am going to be warm and stylish this winter.
I have noticed that a lot of companies are getting very hi tech when it comes to notification systems. I heard about a service called amgalerts.com that helps companies put together a plan for emergency alert systems. Considering winter is coming with weather closings, H1N1 flu and other types of contagious illnesses, etc. it seems like an interesting business plan. Comanies can do this stuff themselves for free with services like Twitter, IP telephony, group voicemail blasts, etc.
I have a friend who told me she has a Twitter account solely because her kids school told her to set one up for their alert system. Twitter is down do ofter though... I am not sure it would be reliable enough in a real emergency.
