Changes to My Landing Page – Donate or Play Games to Help People
You and I know how important social responsibility is.

But, if you don’t choose to donate directly to the Red Cross’ Haiti Relief, know that you could scroll down any page and click the Free Rice image in the sidebar. Free Rice requires no donation.

My colleague Mike P. recently invested in a new camera, filmed a recent Iran Freedom March here in L.A., and pulled an all-nighter to edit an outstanding piece highlighting the local support of Iranian Freedom. Check it out below, and forward it to your friends. Spreading the word in creative and remarkable ways is the quickest means to rouse more worldwide support of the Iranian people. Enjoy:
