# 1, Sunday, August 24, 2003 Activities completed by this week: Looked at past 6200 project management sites. My favorites were the ones that had a common bond with their project. Started working on my project management site this weekend. I hope to have it up later tonight. The main page is done however the 15/5 page is not yet, hence the email :-) Began looking for a client. Few choices: Sigma Alpha Iota Fraternity for Women (SAI) Possibly making an interactive flash product on the history of the fraternity. All member's in training are required to learn the history before allowed to join. *I sent email to the national office, asking if this was something that they would be interested in doing. Waiting for a reply. Electronic Recycling Technologies Instructional product about how a computer is recycling and where the different parts must go in order to be recycled. * I'm hoping to hear from the SAI by tomorrow before I contact this potential client again. Hank's Turkey Calls This client is looking for a website but there is also the possibility of including some kind of instructional product on the website, i.e. how the turkey calls are made, from what type of wood, etc. Activities to be completed this week and next week: Select a client Locate resources Write project abstract top
