There's one of two standing up (8' tall).

The next ones we build are going to be the same design, but have interconnecting towers of different heights; those are going against the dining room wall. About $75 each for the ones we've done so far.
You two could have your own home improvement show and do episodes on gardening, cooking, art, painting and now furniture building. I love the shelves!

'Round here, people pay good money for stuff like that at craft shows. You could have a combination shelf/art both. It'd be HUGE. ;)

Nice touch, using those hinges for corner fasteners. Well done.
Stylish.

It's a Galaxy S II
I did get a nice blue cover for it - not quite Pantone 287 but pretty close.

Just heard a news story about a social media site (I believe) for business called Yammer. Never heard of it. Could someone please explain details about this site? What makes it so used in business?

Well that grouping of Tiger, Micklenuts, and Bubba sure wasn't close.

Twitter and FB are very popular, you may have heard. ;)
Businesses have an interest in their employees being social/linked, but without the risk of posting confidential info out to Twitter or FB.
The 'borg has a homegrown twitter-like service, which, now that it has a critical mass behind it, is really quite helpful. It'll be interesting to see how Yammer (if the deal goes through) gets worked into our products.

Aunt bragging time again - I got a text from PA this morning. Nephew Sam will be playing Captain Von Trapp in the Sound of Music at the end of July. I'll be booking airfare soon!
