Gifts that pay it forward & back
I was celebrating my friend Pat D’s Bday yesterday (today is his actual fété Happy BDay Patrick!!!) He didn’t want any gifts (but we still got him some) but he suprised all of us with a gift to Kiva. Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering...

You & I...were meant to watch Hulu!!
Just found out about a wonderful software (which I’ll be installing tonight when I get home, I’ll have a review later) that lets you watch videos that are currently blocked outside the US.
