Celebration and Donation

At about this point during the New Year's holiday many are relaxing with their friends and family, recovering from hangovers after a night of partying, making resolutions and setting goals that will guide them, hopefully, for the rest of the year.  While I'm not hanging out with family or friends and therefore not having to recover from a hangover, I am focused, immediately, on a single goal.  That goal is to make January 2nd the best day possible for my beautiful wife, Laura.

A Couple More Lattes Please

baldbroganA little over a week ago I convinced Chris Brogan to shave his head for charity.  We decided that we wanted to donate laptops to kids (not OLPC because Chris donated to them last year).  To date we have raised $6,400 from nearly 150 contributors (thank you!).  But, we're still under our goal of $10,000 by May 24th.  So, I'm asking that you give up just a couple lattes to help some kids that need these laptops way more than any of us need to visit a coffee shop a couple days this week.

Donating to Charity in Exchange for Email Subscribers

50centsYesterday I was contacted by Lee Dryburgh, organizer of the eComms Conference.  eComms is a conference about emerging communications focusing on the telecom industry.  Lee told me that he was running a social media experiment of donating $0.50 to Shelter Network, a Bay Area-based charitable organization, for every email subscriber he received for the eComms mailing list.
