The Jimmy Fund - a big cancer research fundraising effort here in Boston - puts giant photos of their patients at every mile marker. It always makes me tear up when I see them, but those kids keep me going.
I was one of them once. I still am. I survived Wilms’ Tumor as a kid, and the simple truth is that without the work of outfits like the Jimmy Fund, I never would have seen my 2nd birthday.
But here I am, 30 years later, still feisty and still kicking.
That’s why I’m walking in this year’s Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and to help those kids. I’m up to 32 birthdays now, so I’m asking my greatest friends to give $32 to support my walk.
The walk is Sunday, so please give before then. And I’ve set a goal of raising $500, so I’ll need lots of help to get there.
I can’t tell you how important this cause is to me. It’s quite literally the thing I’ve spent my whole life fighting for.
Please give what you can. Every little bit helps.

Reading this, but thinking of "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Just because it's a bad law, doesn't mean you're righteous in flaunting it.

Great spyware removal tool. Knocked out Tracy's problem in no time.

I thought this was amazingly powerful. President Obama is showing the world a true willingness to engage. To some extent, I think it backs Iran into a corner. After a beautiful appeal like this, can they really justify their bellicose attitude to the Great Satan? Makes those who called Obama naive on foreign policy look, well, naive.

Hard to argue with, although I think Milk is definitely a movie with staying power, so I would give it some love. But WALL-E is an all-time classic.

I'm still not entirely certain this is at all useful, but totally offline web-based Gmail on your iPhone is obviously pretty cool, technically.

Olbermann was on fire in this one. I refuse to choose between being an American and being safe.
