Tuesday, February 17th, 2009From time to time, basically every day, I get emails from various PR groups promoting this party, that gadget, or a request to place ads for some insanely high interest loan company (which I will never allow as I disagree with the business model of such companies). But occasionally I get something that perks my [...]
Darfur: An end to genocide is possible with your help
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009Sometimes there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You may not know there was a tunnel, or a light, if you only follow the major U.S. news media – but that is the case. In this point I am speaking about the 6 year long war in the Sudan, specifically Darfur. As [...]

Thursday, February 12th, 2009If you could pick 2 of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood and put them into a movie, would anyone go see it? And I’m not talking about the paparazzi inspired Jennifer Lopez – Ben Affleck kind of pairing. I mean in the order of Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington. As I provided in the example [...]
Movie inspires feeding the hungry
Thursday, February 12th, 2009Here’s a story I saw the other day that I wanted to mention. It covers the music, a movie and people who are having a difficult time right now. It’s a message of the better nature we all can have. The movie is The Soloist. This is a film that I think will be huge. [...]
