So don&#8217;t be surprised if you hit this blog and it looks different.  I have some new stuff I want to include, most notably a &#8220;Make a Donation&#8221; button which fellow blogger Otto convinced me is a good idea (I&#8217;d link to Otto but his site is in a state of transition right now).  I&#8217;m not expecting regular readers to donate, but a lot of visitors to Memphis hit this site and learn about downtown and about Memphis, and if they want to whip out the ol&#8217; Visa and send some beer money my way, I&#8217;ll certainly take it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to add a Donation button and Google ads to my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/grades\/\">grade calculator<\/a> as well, which tends to be real popular among college students during the last month of the semester (in April-May it was getting 1000 hits a week).  I&#8217;m working on a redesign for the grade calculator as well so it doesn&#8217;t look so 1997.  In nine years I haven&#8217;t changed that page and it&#8217;s time for an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.semicharmedkat.blogspot.com\/\">Semi-Charmed Kat<\/a> has a great FU Friday post about the PlayStation 3.

It&#8217;s about a disgruntled elf working a department store Christmas display.  Just hilarious.  You need to go see it if you haven&#8217;t in past years.  Tickets are $25, $20 for seniors and students.
