Nerd Excitement!

I would like to introduce you to an exciting new development on the internet - The World Wide Web! Yes! This common protocol for displaying graphical.... Oh, wait. That is so 5 minutes ago. Actually, I would like to throw my two cents in on a particular website: MorrisonRanchLife.net. This site is not available today, but it will be Feb. 3, 2007. The Missus already explained it here. And we now have more information on it at the Morrison Ranch website here. But I wanted to say, myself, that I think this can be a great tool to pull us together even more. I must interject that it is only a tool, and not the drive to connect. But we don't have to generate that. We see that our neighbors have that. There are bunco clubs, and volunteers for the Pecan Festival, and neighbors volunteering to look after one another's house during vacations all over our neighborhoods. This is just a tool that works better than others as we all run around in our busy lives. The ability for the average Joe/Jane to create a group for a special purpose and then post information and communicate with the bunch, all WITHOUT being a nerd, is the key. A small group, say a model rocket club, (see, I AM a nerd!) can coordinate the date for the next event, post the event on everyone's calendar, have its own photo gallery to past events to generate enthusiasm, all without having to be on the phone or on line at the same time. Then the real people contact can occur more easily. Let the Estes Rockets fly!

All of this will be available to all the residents of Morrison Ranch Community Council. And we are offering it to the residents of Higley Groves and Higley Groves West. But the HOA boards will have to approve the rather limited cost. I offered this to Higley Groves West at the board meeting last night. There are many issues vying for the dollars available. I hope the board decides this opportunity is worth funding. If you think it is, and you live in Higley Groves West, please let the board know through the manager, Cyndey Holter, at Rossmar-Graham. Her email address is: CHolter@rossmar.com I hope this leads to our meeting on line, and then in person!

P.S. I think it will be kind of cool that we can all have an email address like scott.morrison@morrisonranchlife.net!!
