• My office is a giant mess because of all the photography stuff I pulled out for the workshop. Can't it just put itself away? #
• I'm going through every person on my 1940 Census list to identify exact addresses through City Directories and WWII draft records. #
• Out of 674 pages in a city directory, I just randomly chose the exact page the person I was looking for was listed on. #bizarreluck #
• States I'm ready to search in the 1940 Census: Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri #

• Wow! http://t.co/ujfv23p is flying at posting the new 1940 Census images. About half of Indiana is already up there! #
• Even the live Webcast for the NARA launch is having trouble.. "The form doesn't work. Uh-oh!" #
• The site is responding perfectly fine, but the submission form is broken. #
• We're 20 minutes in, and the NARA search form still doesn't work. #
• Yay Megan!!! Bring those soldiers home! #

• The issues with the launch of the 1940 Census were expected, although still disappointing. #
• I made it past the search screen! Now if only I could view an image… #
• I see my first 1940 Census image! Saginaw, ED 73-43. Walter Dreffs, I'm hunting you down! #
• I downloaded the entire ED 73-43 set of images and searched them. I found some Stroiks, but not Dreffs. Moving on to 73-48! #
• Yay for Ancestry who just posted the Porter County, Indiana census images! #
