The following post comes from the AdMarketing list. You can follow the conversation here.

The list has been quiet for wayyyy to long. I trust this note finds everyone doing well and getting ready to enjoy the summer!

Interesting topic lately is (of course) twitter. Many are saying that celebs have tarnished the landscape.
Others are saying that its demise will be caused by newer collaborative tools coming onto the market, like Google wave. Still others point to #iranelections as an example of twitter's prominence.

So, what say you? Is twitter the future, part of the past or a present day tactic used in your day-day activity?

Two weeks ago, Elan’s Drs. gave him the go-ahead to walk! This means that he can weight bear or walk as tolerated. Since having the fixator removed in March, Elan has been wearing a brace and using crutches. He continues to wear the brace but, only at night. He no longer needs crutches but we encourage him to use them for support when he gets tired. We will still use the wheelchair for longer distances.

We have learned about courage and tenacity. We have learned about an unquenchable desire to learn and grow under very trying circumstances. We have learned about patience and about living with pain. We have learned about making the best of a difficult situation, about putting on a cheerful face, despite great discomfort. We have learned about sustaining friendships with others, when we have every right to focus only upon ourselves. We have learned that our children are often our best teachers.

We cannot give grades for these lessons; they are profound lessons that go far beyond grades. Soon there will be a time for grades, and we are certain that those grades will be as outstanding in the future as they have been in the past. Soon we will all share in Elan's pride in his academic achievements. But, no matter how stellar his achievements will be, and they will surely be stellar, they will not compare with the personal bravery of the fourth grader who has inspired us all.

Elan's fourth grade teacher. More on Elan here.

Elan's surgery yesterday went well.

The fixator was removed and replaced by a brace. The brace keeps Elan's legs abducted or spread apart. Doing this allows the reforming femoral head to grow nicely into the hip socket. Elan will wear the brace full-time for 2 months. Then, only at night. He will continue to use the walker and wheelchair. There is some discomfort from surgery and the brace but, that should improve.

After major surgery, most 9-year-olds would merely take it easy. But not Elan Arnowitz: From the comfort of his Baltimore hospital bed, this youngster has decided "to go public."

Our son is recovering from surgery. It's a long road but he'll be fine.

Elan's a New Year's baby. This year marks double digits. Unfortunately, he'll mark it at Sinai Hospital's Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics. We decided to take Elan home for one day though- his Birthday. I decided to buy and install a large screen TV. We've wanted one for some time now and figured that it would help with Elan who will continue to lie low once we return home.

Local Band Network Forums are down.
Some douchebag keeps spamming the registration and I don't have time to rebuild them. I'm focusing on rebuilding the whole site.
Sorry for the inconvenience. If you know a spammer punch them for me.
