My long time friend Dan Quinn who I know from Page High School in Greensboro, North Carolina reconnected last week and he told me about the organization, Children of Vietnam, where he is an active board member.

They provide aid and support to poor and homeless children of Da Nang Vietnam. I look forward to learning more about the organization, check them out if you have time.

I met a guy who works at this fantastic SF Nonprofit that brings solar power to lower income neighborhoods among other things.

FreeRice is one of the more engaging approaches to help end World Hunger that my friend Brad Edwards at Georgia Southern sent me the other day. The United Nations approach is to send 20 grains of rice to hungry people for every question answered correctly. Go ahead, play the game, feed some people, test your knowledge!

Brad Brown's new solo show opened Thursday November 15th, and runs through December 22.

The exhibition includes a series of painted wood constructions comprised of two-foot square elements.  Although most of these constructions appear to be abstract or free association paintings, they are essentially a collage of quick notations drawn from a variety of sources including comics from the 1920s and 30s, Russian avant-garde posters, Japanese erotica, airline safety cards, and deChirico’s late metaphysical interiors from the 1970s.
