It is the day made for openbox9 and it will never repeat, so please join us in nines… eat nine grapes with nine toothpicks, say “bunny” nine times, scratch your foot nine times while singing 99 red balloons… make it pure nine madness.</p>
<p>We are by no means celebrating openbox9 but more giving thanks for all the incredible work we’ve been blessed to work on. Without our clients we are openbox-zero.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what the folks at openbox9 will be doing on this grand day of nines (in case you&#8217;re asking):</p>
<ol>
<li>Wrapping up an annual report for a charter school organization making a difference in the lives of 37,000 students — <a class="popup" title="Imagine Schools 2009 annual report design" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2655/3901506843_8e1bb7984b.jpg">Imagine Schools</a>.</li>
<li>Continuing our efforts designing websites for the org that is helping preserve the wildlife for our children – <a href="http://openbox9.com/2009/06/22/new-wildlife-website-for-the-nation-in-progress/">National Wildlife Federation</a>. To date we’ve designed over 30 unique screens and 6 subsites. Not to mention some branding work.</li>
<li>Hard to think about Christmas on September 9th, 2009 but we are designing the online catalog for Food for the Hungry where you can purchase needed gifts on someone’s behalf to help feed the poor.</li>
<li>John Calvin you&#8217;re 500 years old. We are fortunate enough to design the promotional materials for the “<a class="popup" title="Calvin in the Capital Speaker Series in DC" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3902286154_91c03ce239.jpg">Calvin in the Capital</a>” speaker series at Christ Reformed Church.</li>
<li>Our grand friends at <a class="popup" title="Parkside Church Welcome Booklet" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3901506943_6d8707390b.jpg">Parkside Church</a> will soon have a welcome booklet hot off the printing press.</li>
<li>We will also be brainstorming ideas for a buck-rogers themed Crossroads church gathering. Last year we did an elephant on a tightrope for the bigtop theme… submit ideas please!</li>
<li>A community cannot thrive unless both genders play a part in development. This is the <a class="popup" title="USAID Gender and Development Study - One of multiple docs and other supporting materials" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2607/3901507011_cde51f629b.jpg">study of USAID </a>and we are in the midst of designing a plethora of materials including a 100 page field handbook.</li>
<li>We’ll be checking in on the BEFORE project google ad buys and making necessary adjustments.</li>
<li>Then nine small tinkle tweaks to Taggle’s social-networking site design; nine push-ups everytime someone says nine, nine, nine; and the putting the final touches on a interactive website filled with databases galore (you didn’t know we programmed? Oh yeah we program with vigor and panache).</li>
</ol>
<p>Those are the nine things we’ll be slinging our computer mouse&#8217;s to as we sing to the band The Ting Tings. What nine things will you do?  <em></em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[A new Easter story that explains what a rabbit has to do with Jesus Christ... and recipes!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> For years now, I have been working <a href="/profile/openbox9ionary/">semi-laborlessly</a>, on starting a new Easter tradition for homes across the world to enjoy. As far as I know, it remains only a Schafer family Easter event. Eating rabbit, err the Easter Rabbit for dinner may sound horrific but allow me to tell a little story about Plump Peter Cottontail.</p>
<p><img src="http://openbox9.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ob9_easter_chicken_rabbit.jpg" alt="ob9_easter_chicken_rabbit" title="ob9_easter_chicken_rabbit" width="180" height="265" class="size-full wp-image-340" align="left" style="margin-right: 10px;" /> </p>
<p>Plumb Peter Cotton&#8217;s tail hops, maybe even saunters, down the bunny trail to tell the good news of the risen Christ and celebrates by delivering peeps and chocolate statues of himself. </p>
<p>This is the story we&#8217;ve heard for generations but through some poor German translation (not really) the symbolic event of what happens next got lost. You see we missed the part about Peter sacrificing himself for our dinner and rising again for the next year&#8217;s Easter event. All you need to do is tell him oven or frying pan.</p>
<p>Now isn&#8217;t that a nicer, <em>complete</em> and symbolic reminder of what Easter is about? Convinced to start your new Easter tradition? Here are some recipes to get your taste buds roaring:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/Ricks-Fried-Rabbit-270319">Ricks Fried Rabbit</a> &#8211; can&#8217;t go wrong with simple and oily</li>
<li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/Hasenpfeffer-329723">Hasenpfeffer!</a> German cuisine with bacon!</li>
</ul>
<p>Have a rabbit recipe? Ideas to add to the new and complete story of Easter and a rabbit? Please share!</p>
