Movember 2010 – Mo’ Harder
For the past three years, I’ve been a firm supporter and dedicated fundraiser for the greatest facial hair related charity known to man, Movember. As I mentioned a few weeks ago on Frank Zappa Day, we’ve been putting together this year’s campaign on the side (I even took numerous days away from this precious, precious little crappy blog to work on it) and it has finally come together quite nicely. We’ve got some really fun events lined up, a lot of prizes and totally awesome moustaches on the way. On a personal note, the first year I participated in Movember I (somehow) managed to raise over $600, which was astounding to me. Last year, with the help of some friends, some absconded laser jet paper from work and a whole lot … Read entire article »

Tying it all together: Frank Zappa Day and Movember in Baltimore
As it was widely reported this past Sunday, a big ol’ statue of Frank Zappa’s head – Baltimore’s own prolific avant garde rock/jazz/classical/everything else musician and defender of free speech – was dedicated in Highlandtown in front of a crowd of billions. While the idea as to where it should have gone was expressed a little while ago, I’m sure everyone is pleased as punch that the head finally has a home in Baltimore. And if I might for a minute suggest to you all – watch this, one of Frank’s final interviews in 1993 on the Today Show, where he quietly expresses some of his opinions on his career, the sickness that cut his life prematurely, and how he wanted to be remembered – only a few short months before … Read entire article »

The Clicks for Cats (and Dogs, etc.) Campaign
See these dumb Google Ads on this site? They’re pretty worthless, for the most part; pixels I could be using for better things. Unless, of course, those better things involve a local charity that everyone tends to like, right? Which is why, starting today, I’m kicking off the Clicks for Cats (and Dogs, etc.) Campaign. Every click on these dumb ads yields a few pennies, and from today until the end of next month every single virtual penny earned by ad clicks and impressions will go to BARCS, and possibly save a few animal lives. So scroll around, click on some stuff. Who knows, you might even buy something. Let our 3rd party advertisers pave the way for some neutered dogs! Get started with this one!

Movember 2009 BEGINS!!!!!!!
MOVEMBER! The full-month charity extravaganza known as Movember has begun. Throughout the month, men all over the world will grow mustaches (and the occasional beard) in an effort to raise awareness for men’s health issues with a primary focus on Testicular and Prostate Cancer. The international organizers of Movember have teamed up with the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Prostate Cancer Foundation and will be splitting the money raised by Movember between the two. The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer, while the Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program, which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults … Read entire article »
