Blogante Headlines for Monday - October 15th, 2007

I just noticed that I get a quarter of a million pageviews per month now! Cool. Tomorrow, I will hopefully be able to tell you about CIMS - Community Information Management System. It is a centralized database for organizing Hispanic info (similar to what I tried earlier this year with Kgente) but with a smarter implementation this time around. More about this tommorow. I finally wrote about the Congreso Latino, it is below. And Ingrid Hoffman wrote back with a testimonial - super cool - in case you haven’t figured it out - I love food. — Gracias, Tomás

“The irony, of course, is the people who would send millions of Latinos back south are often the same people who decry the loss of spirituality in America.
