Albino “Pink” Dolphin in Lake Calcasieu

6 Comments

Allison sent me a link to this story about a “pink” dolphin that was spotted with a pod of other dolphins in Lake Calcasieu. The dolphin is actually an albino and has pink eyes. That is quite a story and I think that there should be a post about it on Dolphin Bubbles, the SeaWorld blog for dolphins.

If that news didn’t make you smile then you have to watch this awesome video I watched this morning. It is a short film, 16 minutes, starring TJ Thyne of Bones. The short film is called Validation.

Please watch before you read my comments below.

Did you watch it? If you didn’t then don’t read my comments below as they could possibly be spoilers.

Didn’t you just love that little film, it was inspiring. I really enjoyed how things came about throughout the whole film. No violence, no swearing, good storytelling and I love the Black and White. The evolution of the characters and I really loved the realization that no one had ever validated Hugh before. I know it might be overly sentimental but it worked, it left me smiling. I hope it did the same for you.

Bowling for a Good Cause

5 Comments

Dina Riccobono of Market Leverage sent me information on a Charity Bowl-A-thon that ML is doing on Tuesday March 31st.

Market Leverage is sponsoring this Charity Bowl-A-Thon for the family of one of their publishers. Brisan and Parker Stults are the two eldest sons of Mike and Jennifer Stults. Brisan and Parker were recently been diagnosed with a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease called “Niemann Pick Type C Disease (NPC)” or also known as the”Childhood Alzheimer’s”. The outcome…Fatal.

As a father I am terrified about childhood diseases and anything that could hurt our little Eva. My heart goes out to the Stults family and if we lived in the Orlando Area I’d certainly be there bowling with the gang from Market Leverage. However I can still help even though we are far away. You can help as well. There are many ways to sponsor bowlers, lanes, t-shirts, you name it sponsorship opportunities abound. One of my blogger friends Tim Jones is going to be participating. I intend to sponsor his bowling for the night at 10 cents a pin. Let’s hope he bowls a perfect game. There are many other ways to sponsor the event. Take a look and help however you can, no donation is too small.

I can’t be at the event but I can be bowling that night, Wii Bowling. Would anyone like to sponsor me at $0.10 a pin as I play 2 games of Wii bowling? You can make the donation directly to the Stults family on their blog through paypal or you can donate via a check. I’ll bowl two games, video it and let you know my final pin count. Then you can make the donation to the fund. I’ll be Wii Bowling March 29, 2008, I’ll post the final pin count and video after the game and you can make a donation based on the pin count. How does that sound?
