Sort of like a Rosetta Stone for rap lyrics; brilliantly useful and hilarious at the same time.  

Songs for the Cure ’11 is the 4th compilation by the Indie Music Cancer Drive, an organization that coordinates the efforts and talents of performers and composers from across the world in order to raise money to fight cancer and give support to victims and their families. All of the music for each album is composed specifically or exclusively appears on its compilation, with the primary goal of raising money for the cause. For the second year now my good friend David has a track on the album (Fever Pitch – Hurry Home).

Your gift to the American Red Cross will support their disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.

If the Kings leave Sacramento, we all lose; they’re important in giving our city an Identity and they have so much potential for brining the city through an economic slump. Go show your support by Liking this cause; hopefully they’ll start motivating their fans with action items soon …

Ten weeks ago today myself and 6 other friends started a “Biggest Loser” challenge. The challenge was to see who could lose the most weight by percent in the 10-week period. I setup WeightWire as a very quick CakePHP application to track each individual’s weigh-ins and present everything in a clean layout. I’m also very happy to say that Today I was able to best everybody by losing just over twenty pounds, roughly 10.5%. 

This is great news for users of Gravatar (like myself) since the Gravatar system seemed to not be able to scale their system on their own. For those who dont know, Automattic is the company behind WordPress (both the application and the .com site), Akismet and bbPress. While I can’t say I always agree with some of their decisions regarding feature support, I can’t argue with their ability to scale a service.

I’ve already taken advantage of some of the new features offered by the free service, and linked all three of my email addresses (One personal, and two versions of my Business address). And set separate images on the personal and business accounts.

I think its a good move, and I’m looking forward to seeing where Automattic takes the service in the near future.

On a cool October night, Laura Bowser, 27, returns home from her post-work run to her modest town house. She soon finds herself flopped into a high-backed leather office chair poring over her Macintosh keyboard as she sends instant messages to her boyfriend.

Jacqueline has styled here WordPress blog with Pink for October. Thanks Jacqueline!

Web sites will Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research.

But to be clear, raising money isn’t the primary purpose of this web event.

The hope is that you turn your site pink (in whatever way works for your site), go out to that World Wide Web thing (in fact you’re on it right now! ) and educate yourself about the multiple issues related to Breast Cancer, then take that newfound knowledge and tell someone else what you’ve learned.

Please join me in going Pink for October. I’ve created a K2 style for the occasion, and a plugin to show your support for the event.
