Today’s Highlighted Blog
This blog deserves recognition simply because it is named Poop and Boogies. Aside from that it has an interesting post on how allowing your kids to watch Thomas the Train and The Wiggles will make them mean and gay!
Old News Is Still News – Pay to get out of the warzone
Incase you haven’t heard, the US government is charging civilians to evacuate the war zone. Read more in Email from Beirut.
Funny how news that is one week old is OLD.
Thanks to Latte Man for the update on the reversed decision.
I need sponsors!
I am turning on the heat. We have this week ONLY to find sponsors for Blogathon 2006! I have joined forces with Barry, Jay, and Cathy to help raise a contribution to Farm Aid by blogging every thirty minutes starting at 9am EST on this Saturday July 29 and continuing for 24 hours.
The mission of Farm Aid is to keep family farmers on their land. Family farmers are our only guarantee for fresh, local food. Our goal is to bring together family farmers and citizens to restore family farm-centered agriculture. Family farmers ensure safe, healthful food, protect natural resources, and strengthen local economies. [Source]
I once thought Farm Aid was just something Willie, Neil, John, and others sang songs about after Band Aid sales went down. I have since learned about Farm Aid and corporate farming. I feel the family farm is important to our culture, the quality of our food, and local economics. I believe in Farm Aid’s mission and ask that you support me during Blogathon 2006 with a donation to our cause.
Thank you Michael Silence for the announcement!
Help! I’m trapped in an Apple store.
Sarah is at a Podcasting class as part of Apple Camp at the new West Town Mall Apple store. I thought I could drop and run but they require a parent to stay present during the workshops.
Today Sarah is with 3 other students that look 8, 19 and 12. Their focus is audio podcasting. I want to get each of the family members their own MacBook. That would be sweet!
There are other workshops.
You know… Makes this a little ironic!
