    <p>Hello,<br>
</p><p>Are you looking for a DIY project to do with your kids?
You're in luck! MAKE just came out with its School's Out Summer Fun 
Guide. Or how about grabbing your DSLR camera and heading out to take 
some photos? Indeed, getting some exercise is a great idea - if you're 
headed to OSCON in Portland, you may want to pack your running shoes. 
There'll be a 5k for all you OS folks. Now, go out and have some fun.</p>
