I was able to finish most the work I needed to over our spring break. I finished entering in all the year's events on the web and drafted a letter to Dave Egger's. Activeliving.org, however, stopped taking story submissions for their website. It's a shame because no stories from WV are currently there.
Now that I am back, Nick has me helping write a proposal to the board members for a company laptop. It has to be under $300. A new Mini netbook with XP is about $280. A place in Morgantown called PCrenewal has refurbished laptops and will surly have something for everyday computing under $300.
To write this proposal, I think about the Pros and Cons of having a laptop. It's surprisingly hard to write about something that I think is a no-brainer. I can't think of any Cons. So I talked about the importance of having modern technology for a growing business and it's travel convenience. Nick suspects this will not be a problem, more a formality.
As a side note, today I helped move old bikes out the warehouse by the wharf to be recycled.

You're lucky that you were able to do work over break. I can't do any editing for the web or do work on photoshop without actually being at the Press, which stinks. I can't understand why the company wouldn't get you a laptop for $300. That is startlingly cheap for a laptop anyways, let alone there is the fact that you kind of need on in this day and age to do the kind of work we are getting into.
Interesting stuff about writing to David Eggers. What's the specific purpose of your letter? And how has that purpose shaped the rhetorical strategies you employ in your letter?
