It's been a great run these past 2+ months. I've spent a lot of time here (more than half an hour just loading and tweaking a single post each time) and I've got fond memories of seeing my thoughts published. But my heart belongs to another. Sorry Blogger, your days are numbrd.
I just watched a video describing how Scott Harrison started charity: water. The organization helps to address the basic need for clean drinking water, something that I have taken for granted for a long time now.

My blog takes a turn as I introduce my lighter side. First up is a video I just saw on Vimeo that I really like. Enjoy.

The Initiative
Action Without Borders (AWB), the nonprofit that manages Idealist.org has been in a good position to see the potential that passionate, service-oriented individuals have to make a radical difference in our world. AWB and Idealist.org's mission is to "connect people, organizations, and resources to help build a world where all people can live free and dignified lives."
