step it up: climate action festival.

hopefully blogger + google is cooperating and you can view the above image. but this saturday, april 14 is a national climate day of action. there are quite a bit of events happening in the bay area-no surprise there. you can get a listing of events by zip code if you visit this website. i think i'm gonna attend the palo alto one, because the only other south bay event (apart from santa cruz ones) is a private event at harker academy. lame.

and while i'm on the topic of global warming, i have to link this article from green options that was an april fools prank that i totally feel for. i'll just lead in by saying the headline is: "president declares april as national oil awareness month." how sad is it that i could actually believe ol' bush would say most of these things? even if i read them with a gaping mouth and found myself laughing in a sad sort of way.

oh those damn nerdy bloggers.

more google bragging, apparently google earth has teamed up with the u.s. holocaust memorial museum to raise awareness (even more) about what has been going on in the sudan since 2003 (when the conflict escalated).

check out this cnn article.

and make sure to check out google earth. And the ogle earth blog.

and in relation to darfur & community awareness, please check out this film & speaker event happening at Camera 12 (in downtown San Jose) on April 22. It's being sponsored by the Save Darfur Coalition. Go here for more information.

Labels:

a new spot to bullshit.

I decided that this blog is becoming too social change advocacy based to post about my stupid life bullshit... so I've created a new spot for my BS. If you are interested in the website address... leave a comment and I'll send it to you. Sorry to be so secret about it but there's some folks who don't need to know it......

But for now, this blog will stay up and focus on current news, upcoming events, etc. etc.

More later...
