I'm at it again!

Hey!

 

You've heard me talk about it, and if you haven't, here is your chance! I am riding my bicycle; yes a BICYCLE, 545 miles over 7 days from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money to fight AIDS. I have to raise $3,000 before May 8th, and at this moment I am at $700... a little short of my goal, but I am not worried, because I know with your help, I can make it!

 

Please, take a minute to donate today. You can read all about my dedication to this ride by going to my personal website at http://alc.kenheaps.com/, and then you can visit http://www.tofighthiv.org/goto/kenheaps to donate online. I usually ask for a $30 donation, but honestly, any amount is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Now, if you want to learn more about the ride in person, PLEASE come to our Team Colorado fundraising party on Thursday, April 9th at 6pm. It will be held at the Oriental Theater in the Highlands in Denver, Colorado. There will be entertainment, silent auctions, and great people, so come join us. Check out the details and RSVP though the Evite below.

Please pass this on to your friends, you will get good karma from it, I promise!

Thank you for your past, present, and future support!

News Clip - A March for Gay Rights

To My Family: (who lives in California and are Mormans)

 

I wanted to share this news clip with you, it is about a march that R. and I took part in to repeal California Prop 8 and the other amendments that ban same-sex marriage. You can see R.'s choir and choir director at the beginning signing a song that they performed during their last performance. We marched about a mile though downtown, with a police escort, making traffic wait until we were done. It was a very powerful experience and it was for a cause we feel deeply about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nID6uS0yLw

 

For those who voted No on 8, I thank you very much for your support and for trying to help us work toward equality. For those who voted Yes; I value your choice although I don't fully understand why you made it. Please take a minute to watch this video from the TV show "Countdown" by Keith Olbermann and to reflect: Has gay marriage really affected your life at all in the last six months that it has been legal? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FapFXSoBMaQ

Thank you

Yahoo Pipes and Craigslist

Being the Craigslist addict that I am, I finally decided that there must be a better way to search the website... it is so basic and simple that it drives any computer programmer insane when they try to use it.

 

I found it: Yahoo Pipes. With the help of the fellow who wrote this article: http://www.witigonen.com/2007/10/29/how-actually-search-craigslist/, I learned about Yahoo Pipes and how it works to search webpages and edit the content for your own use... you can even translate foreign languages with it!

 

I love what it is doing for me... I spend a lot less time on Criagslist, but get a lot more done.

 

In Memory

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

 I'm not there I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints of snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there.

I did not die.

Dreams

Been having a lot of strange dreams lately, and a hard time sleeping. I would like to say it is not affecting me, but it really is. I think I figured out that I am trying to sleep too much, so can't get a solid nights sleep... for once I just need to stay awake more!

Bathtub Brewery

http://www.quaffale.org.uk/php/brewery/898

 

Damn, all the good names are taken... still looking for a name for our home brew beer. Currently kicking around the idea of Clawfoot Brewery, since there is a clawfoot bathtub in our 'brewing room' (aka, the spare bathroom).

 

We have already nixed the Four Paw name as it is two widely used, and a few others...

Anthracite Coal Forum

Wondered across this while looking for something completely different: http://www.nepadigital.com/bb/ 

 

At first I was a little shocked that people still use coal in their homes, but then I realized that in some places it might be the most economical method to heat...
