TAG PEOPLE!Nate and Cats Shavetacular Spectacular Movember Challenge!themaddestcat2014-11-01 | Help Nathan (http://theffkid.com) and me raise awareness for men's health issues this November for MOVEMBER.
"The Movember Foundation challenges men to grow moustaches during Movember (formerly known as November), to spark conversation and raise vital funds for its men’s health programs. To date, 4 million moustaches have been grown worldwide, but we won't stop growing as long as serious men’s health issues exist....
Mo Bros, with their new moustaches, become walking, talking billboards, and like a run or walk for charity they use their hairy ribbon to spark conversations around the often ignored issue of men’s health and seek to raise funds to support the work of the Movember Foundation.
Movember’s not just for men. Women who support men’s health, known as Mo Sistas, are an important part of Movember’s success. Mo Sistas register, start a team and fundraise – they do everything Mo Bros do, they just don’t grow a Mo. Mo Sistas are champions of Movember, rallying the men in their lives to join the movement, grow moustaches and have important conversations about men’s health."
Yes, I know that dumping ice water on my head isn't going to cure ALS. But awareness helps, and donating to help fund research/support families certainly does its part, so maybe you can do both? I may not have $100, but I have $5, and that's something.
Make a video, share mine, tell someone about ALS. Here's a brief summary of the disease from the ALS Association: "Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed."
Music: "Gymnopédie No. 1 - Erik Satie" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Leaky Snippetsthemaddestcat2012-12-12 | Today I found the four things I filmed at LeakyCon 2012. They really don't even count as things. More like snippets. Little Leaky snippets. Have fun with your feelings.
Music: "Porch Swing Days" by Kevin MacLeod. http://incompetech.comUnsubscribedthemaddestcat2012-11-15 | "I'm totally going to win this argument with someone on Facebook!" said no one ever.
Truth time: in the last week of the election, I actually posted a few political things because I was starting to get angry and nervous. It happens.

* It is blinking and the sound is wonky. I don't know what is happening.

Check out their site for updates every day; photos, videos, and all kinds of fun stuff. If you have suggestions of places for them to check out in your hometown, or a couch you can offer, TELL THEM. This is a really cool thing and I am super proud of them.
