Website Woes

So I am having a little bit of trouble with my website for HCI class. I have done all of the work up until this point, including the advanced wire frames, but I realized that my proposed idea is almost impossible to do. My elevator pitch is as follows: The website that I plan on designing is going to cater to the millions of participants in the commodity markets, but it will mostly concentrate on the commodities that are traded in Chicago.

This seemed like a great idea at the time, however I have come to the conclusion that a website like this would have to be updated on a intradaily basis. I am stuck. I have done a lot of work on the proposal, and I don't want to have to start all over. Anyone have any ideas?

The 2007 NL central champions!


So the cubs actually did it. They actually clinched the NL Central, after making me sweat all year. I would say that the worst part was getting swept by Florida when the Cubs only had three games left. But that is all behind us now.

It's playoff time ladies and Gentlemen, and the Cubs begin battle with the Arizona Diamondbacks this Wednesday. This would have been a good thing if I didn't have TWO midterms on Thursday. How am I suppose to watch the game if I have two midterms the next day? Maybe it's time to get my priorities in line.... It's not very often that the Cubs go to the playoffs, and midterms occur very frequently. The famous Cub's saying is "wait till next year", well as far as midterms are concerned, they can "wait till next quarter".
