Nozuan Nibbles is started. A blog of sorts from another voice intended to provide tidbits, nibbles if you will,
of information that will be of interest to the Nozuan individual. It will broadcast links and info about activities
and webpages helping make the world a more beautiful place.
Check it out Nozuan Nibbles.

10/19/08: Officiality
It was a simple heading error with the site using IE, it has been fixed.
One of the more major changes in Nozuan is that now we are going to start offering a newsletter and discounted services to all full members.
We've finally gotten the UAB chapter of Nozuan up! This is a time of experiment for us, we're simultaneously trying to reach out in different directions to attract members.
In celebration we posted a small little scavenger hunt in the Heritage Hall building on UAB campus.

10/9/08: Scheduled Classes
We've temporarily had a halt in most of our regular classes during mine and Mat's move, but now we're ready with a nice big yard to hold Hai Dong Gumdo in.
Keep a look out for that and other classes finding a new place in the schedule soon.
For right now, we have a new class of mine coming later in October. Meditation with Crystals focuses on the basics of getting to know and working with crystals. It's taking place at our house on the 25th.
For more information, check out the write up here.
And the website is currently not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer. You may need to use FireFox for the time being, until we can fix the problem.

10/4/08: Nozuan Project Revamp and Restart!
The site might not look much different, but if you look at the code a lot has changed!
Unfortunately the forums are still down.
We are currently working on scheduling all of our classes and we hope to have new options available soon.
Also in the works is a chapter opening up at UAB, we've got the charter and bill of rights, merely working on revisions.
Hopefully if the UAB chapter works well we'll open matching ones in Huntsville and Mobile.

6/8/08: Site updates and maintenance continued...
The site content is up to date, but we are still working on becoming XHTML and CSS compliant.
The forums are still down and in the process of being replaced.
These changes shouldn't affect the site any if I do things right, maybe speed up the load times a little.
As the site is changing please report any bugs or glitches you find.
~Mathew Ostrander
6/4/08: Site updates and maintenance
The site is currently being reworked to comply with XHTML and CSS, please pardon the dust.
The forums are currently down and in the process of being replaced.
New calendar will be up soon once schedules are determined.
As always, please e-mail if you have questions, comments, or suggestions.
