Dark.
I'll miss you George! Good luck in the land with no speech restrictions and no FCC.
“The weather was dominated by a large Canadian low, which is not to be confused with a Mexican high. Tonight’s forecast . . . dark, continued mostly dark tonight turning to widely scattered light in the morning.”
My good friend and soulful brother Art Wilinski has gotten his personal website into fantastic shape.
It's got clips from the incredible film he shot and directed the Orange Thief which was filmed in Sicily, and much more.
Coming to a screen near you this fall!

One of the organizations I do some work for, AJWS, has been in Burma for several years
working with communities to help their quality of life.
And now they are trying to help them survive Cyclone Nargis devastating effects.
If you have time to give a small donation, or the inclination to pass this url linking to their donation page
along to friends and family today, that would be great.
Thanks - Kevin
]]>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.
GRID Alternatives works collaboratively with communities and local organizations to identify specific needs and to develop renewable energy solutions that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. Their vision of sustainable development centers on community involvement, and their focus and expertise lies in using renewable energy and energy efficiency to provide solutions to the challenges facing low-income individuals and families, in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
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!
