Thanks for the birthday wishes, calls and cards - you imaginary internet people are just awesome. My favorite link of the day comes from my mail buddy Jennifer, who sent me to Pink Faded Roses. I love new feed finds - feel free to suggest yours via comments.
I hope to do more in my 43rd year on the planet than I did in my 42nd.
I’m starting with a request - if I’ve helped you, or you’ve found this blog useful, would you consider helping my colleague Beth Kanter have a great 51st birthday? She’s set a challenge goal of getting 51 unique donations for the Sharing Foundation, which is helping to meet the physical, emotional, educational and medical needs of orphaned and seriously disadvantaged children in Cambodia. If they are one of four top causes to get the most unique donors, they will win $50,000 for the Sharing Foundation as part of America’s Giving Challenge.
With a $10 donation, you can help improve the lives of over 1,500 children in one of the world’s poorest countries.
I’ve already donated, and I encourage you to do the same if you can.
With that, I’m off to the beach to celebrate properly! I’m taking Nick Carr’s new book, The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google along, so look for a review next week along with the official call for content providers for my latest project, Active Gray Matter.
