We want to offer our congratulations to Ben on his engagement!. He will be getting married this summer. We snatched this photo out of the “meet the team” section on FamilyLearn. We will probably need to change this photo from “love stinks” to an engagement snapshot

The most distinguishing feature of the new MemoryPress is its typesetting capability. MemoryPress is the world’s first online typesetting system.
As you make changes to your book, the application isn’t always loading (as you will experience on the rest of the web), it is typesetting. Essentially, MemoryPress typesetting takes your text and sets it into a library quality layout. Unlike word processing applications and email, MemoryPress automatically takes care of details like alignment, spacing, font size, headers, footers, page numbers, and table of contents. Using MemoryPress is like having a personal designer that worries about the visual aspect of your book, so that you can devote your attention to your memories.
Gutenberg’s invention of movable type required the characters to be set piece by piece. When you update your book on MemoryPress, it does this electronically. I’ve included a small animation that MemoryPress users will see as the application typesets their memories.
I’ve been working full time on the new MemoryPress User Interface (UI). Some people have enough time on their hands that they actually monitor our snail-like technical progress. I figure that your dedication (and quirky hobby) deserve a special insider look at the visual development of our new application.
Here is a screen shot of the alpha version of MemoryPress.
Frank feedback is appreciated. Critical comments are condemned.
After Jay, Jeff and Daniel visited Ohio this week, Mike Harden, from The Columbus Dispatch, comments on FamilyLearn’s Heirloom book and how it helps the family remember.
Daniel Harmon, who traveled to the convention from his Utah company, FamilyLearn, was preparing to show off his Memory Book. The book, essentially, is a pictorial biography of the deceased.
The ever-popular funeral DVD of snapshots becomes a hardbound book that includes everything from the eulogy to the e-mailed condolences.
“It’s anywhere from $30 to $60,” Harmon said of what, for all practical purposes, is a way for the everyday Joey Bag of Donuts to have a biography.
