Moms day
Is anybody NOT reading about Scobles mom? Microsoft's most famous blogger has struck another chord by getting personal.
My mom suffered a TIA or transient ischemic stroke a year ago. It's been a long road back but we were very lucky. We, of course, found support groups through the blogesphere and associations like American Heart. More thoughts to Robert.

"It was the first time I filled out a DNR" order.
9-Year-Old's Parents Had Turned to EBay to Raise Money for Surgery
"We met Frank, eyeball to eyeball," said Hrayr Shahinian, the surgeon
who last month offered to waive his $40,000 fee for the biopsy after
learning that the family was auctioning a "Frank must die" bumper
sticker on eBay to raise money for the procedure. "We did some damage
to [Frank], for sure."

Craigslist and cottage industries
It's not an apples to apples comparison but while people have been debating HTML vs text for years, craigslist has built a business out of the lowest common denominator-- really plain text with no graphics. (originally seen on Susan Mernit's blog)

Bright Beginnings
As part of the Holiday, Jan/Elan/and I visited with Washington DC's Bright Beginnings Program today. Executive Director Betty Jo Gaines explained that the center could use more resources (time & money). What a worthwhile place. The center offers a safe haven to 84 preschoolers that all come from really bad situations.
Here's the link for more info. and to help.
Bright beginnings is a developmental child care center for homeless preschoolers whose families are in crisis shelters or transitional housing in Washington, DC.
The center offers free, full-day, year-round, and developmentally- appropriate care for approximately 100 children aged six weeks to five years old. As one of two child care centers in the District of Columbia that offers free care to homeless children, Bright Beginnings is alleviating a desperate community shortage.

FREE metro rides
I was heading downtown for a morning meeting this week and took the Washington, DC metro. The turn styles were open and there was a bit of confusion. Seems that ING Direct picked up the tab for the morning commute (the 5:30a-9:30a shift).
As you departed the station, there were people greeters with ING direct marketing pieces waiting for you. I also saw promotions in Baltimore, Md. but not sure about the free train rides there...
Maybe this is Metro's attempt to make the Washington, DC system more 'rider friendly'? I wonder what the metrics for success are with a promotion like this? In any event, a nice touch.
