Error on last post, plus updates!

To start, I did make a minor typo in the app: It's called Card STAR, not smart. That is the app on your iPhone/iPad that you can hold *all* of your member cards in one spot. Unfortunately, in some places, in order to be able to scan the bar code, the dim has to be at the correct setting, but as long as the member rewards numbers are there, we can punch that in!

As you may have heard on my Twitter last week, I started at WCRX-FM doing Production. I will be there Mondays from 9-1.

I have mentioned this time and time again on twitter. At retail establishments, if you appear to be younger than 30 and bring in your significant other or friends, we do reserve the right to card all. We are doing this for our protection and jobs. Please be understanding and don't cuss us out when we kindly ask you and your friends for ID's. If somebody forgets their ID, it's up to the discretion of management. Also, in the city of Chicago, Sunday liquor sales do not start until 11am. Our registers will not even allow the sale. Please do not attempt. Other villages in the northern part of IL have similar ordinances.

If you buy bottles of plain water (NOT Propel) in Chicago, you will notice a Chi water tax (Food stamps: Don't worry!). We are not out to overcharge you on water. I don't remember what prompted it, but maybe the heavy amount of plastic ending up in landfills or something led to water getting taxed in the city of Chicago. Please do not look at the person ringing you up as EVIL. It's automatically built in. we have no control over it.

At the advice of a few friends, I will be moving over to Wordpress so that I can post audio links in blogs and stuff. I will post a link later this week.

Remember: Tweet me, Face me, You know how to REACH me! ;) (Twitter @ replies and Facebook messages come straight to my phone! :) )

Card Smart and Audio Piece

On a smart phone, there is an app that is called smart card or card smart for you tech savvy people to lighten up your wallet with all of those saving cards. :)

By popular demand, here is my audio clip regarding an issue that is close to my heart. You may have heard me mention the binational couple debate. a friend of the family and his partner are fighting for legalizing his status here in the United States. Click for more. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you have any questions.

Production Time!

I just got word earlier today that I am joining WCRX to do Production work! :) I start around the end of January! This will be very exciting for me!

I have noticed that there has been major turn around of personalities at stations but yet, back end almost always seems to be a good thing to know how to do! I've learned that at Dominick's also over the past few months doing FMC once a week. I have not given up on possibly being on-air eventually, but I was able to take Production I and Production II in my first 3 semesters at Columbia.

I will keep you also posted on how things go with the Production work and may post the occasional sound clip on here of my work!
