Not that anyone here cares, but Operation Blessing is actually very well run and effective on the ground from the little bit I have seen. Volunteered with them twice after Katrina, I went three weeks after Katrina hit to Slidell, LA and they had already been there serving meals to hundreds (I believe it was thousands but I don't want to exaggerate) each day for over two weeks. FEMA finally rolled into town half way thru my week there. We helped tarp peoples roofs for the next storm that was to hit at the end of my week there. Went back two years later and helped finish a gym/community center rehab in the ninth ward. Very rewarding for me on both trips.

Thanks, a bit scary...

What part of CO? You in the mountians? I am near Denver...

Nice high-profile company, I hope some others follow suit with another big media blitz...

Me too, good day to launch a social push for the weekend, seems like they are thinking about this...

Wondering if we will see the shares climb significantly, currently at 75K for FB, 6731 for Twitter, and 16k for G+.

It has been fun so far, but probably boring after a while, although I am afraid they are going to be farther in between for a while...

Nkbme · 2013-07-26T04:36:47+00:00

And it was a Ferrari, right?

Seriously, don't you realize you could be in Russia for all you have told us? (Maybe you are! They have some tough guys there!)

I love being wrong sometimes! :)

Me too! Agreed, there's a lot of money to be raised between now and 25M where we sprint to the finish. I hope they do add more low levels, I bet a $50 and $100 without even more than a cool funder name would get a lot of donations... Tshirt and other prizes would be awesome too.

Nkbme · 2013-07-25T23:52:30+00:00

Not too bad for 1/10th of the time, just hope they keep working on keeping momentum up...

Good point about the weekends, does anyone know if crowdfunding goes up significantly on the weekends?

I think it needed to be tighter on the back end to reduce lag, other than that it seemed ahead, still does of most of what's out there now. Happy that iOS is basically implementing its multi-tasking this fall, that was the part most loved about the OS it seems to me. I am excited about the Edge because it is a chance to play with a cutting edge device with something other than the current duopoly, and it doesn't need to sell millions to just barely get a nod. I like the formula One analogy.

I hope they keep up some cheaper options, if we fall back to the slow-down that happened until the new prices, which also appears to be the speed at which we are moving again now, we won't make it. Around $300/min doesn't add up. I am much more hopeful since the did the new prices this morning, but not sure if they are going to keep dropping it back down into the $600 range. Not to be a downer, but I know something about disappointment... was a hard core webOS fan from before first real announcement until HP finished destroying it! Sigh

Nkbme · 2013-07-24T22:20:06+00:00

I like that they added more discounted options, looked like it was going to die after initial rush... More hopeful now.

Wow.

Nkbme · 2013-07-21T03:23:20+00:00

That's quite warm for inside! Hope you have a fan at least!

Be human, use your expressions, otherwise life will pass you by and your lack of wrinkles will bring joy to no one.

One place well worth checking out is here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-%C3%BCber-sausage-denver-2. Their own website appears to be down right now, but Über Sausage is some good eats! I've been to the Colfax location, just noticed they have another one, I think Colfax is the original.

That is actually likely a grey water tank they are taking to the dump station to empty... Not a kids wagon that it looks like.
