We’re in the process of making some changes to our site in the coming days… nothing too major, just adding some additional pages that we need to and making some minor tweaks to our sections.
As part of the changes we figured it was time for us to join the world of Twitter.
http://twitter.com/bhamterminal
Our new Twitter address is also available on our contact page, to which we’ll be adding some more ways to keep in touch with us as we go forward. If you want to be kept abreast of what’s going on in the world of The Terminal on your cell phone or via IM, head on over to the service’s info page on the topic.
Otherwise, just sign up and get ready for yet another way to know when you can come on over.

TechBirmingham President and CEO Curtis Palmer has announced that he will be stepping down from those positions effective close of business Wednesday. According to the press release, Palmer (who also contributes to The Terminal) will remain on the board of directors and still manage Ecycling Day efforts among other things.
The official announcement is over on the non-profit organization’s TechBlog. For those interested in just what this change means, the organization is having a TechMixer on November 6 at the Innovation Depot. You can pick their brains then.

With most of the hype surrounding our local elections finally starting to die down (despite some feeling that its got to keep on going), it’s time to finally begin shifting some attention to our nation’s presidential race.
Tune in this afternoon at 12:30 p.m. local time (yeah, still no clock changing yet) over on MySpace’s Election 2008 profile to catch a live webcast of a dialogue with presidential candidate Barack Obama as he speaks at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Don’t think of it as goofing off, think of it as getting better prepared to make a decision about our nation’s next leader. The profile also lets those with MySpace profiles know how they can submit questions and take part in the dialogue.
Of course you can always come back here and let us know what you thought about it as well. Just saying…
