Brangelina Does Another Good Deed to Make Us Feel Bad
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Charity,
Are you expecting your 5th and 6th child? Have you recently purchased a $60 million castle? Well, then you’re probably cutting back on some of your other expenses. But then again, you’re probably not Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie.
Today, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict announced that the saintly couple has generously donated a cool $1 million to its organization. Once distributed, the funds will help children - American and Iraqi - affected by the war overseas. (As if the couple didn’t have enough kids to worry about.)
In a statement, Pitt said he wants their gesture to inspire more acts of charity. “We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations.”
Ugh. Could these two possible make me love/hate them more?

Just a few weeks ago, CBS finally put an end to one of their struggling sophomore shows, Jericho. Now supporters of Moonlight are hoping that their cult favorite will not see that same fate.
Although the program is scheduled to return with four new episodes come April 25, the drama has not yet landed on network’s renewal schedule. Realizing a peanut-filled campaign helped to bring back the Skeet Ulrich vehicle, die-hard fans are once again banding together to keep their new fave from bleeding out.

Don’t Trash It - Freecycle
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech,
Want to do more than just throw away your old stuff now that you have better gadgets amassed from the holidays? Started in 2003, the Freecycle Network is filled with freebies. It claims to save more than 300 million tons of trash every day by recycling. There are now more than 4 million members from 4,100 cities, so if you haven’t been there lately, visit it again.
The site also features volunteer moderators who make sure the swaps are legal and G-rated. Founder Deron Beal is proud that Freecycle helped a Hurricane Katrina victim refurnish his home and features such acts of kindness as the man who assembles bike parts then gives them away. Think of it as a kinder, more generous craig’s list.

Pass the Collection Plate Online
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop,
Cincinnati’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese has decided that its 230 parishes and 110 schools in 19 counties should be afforded the pleasure of making its weekly donation via computer. They believe that this may help since fewer people carry cash these days. Of course, the collection basket will still be available, so perhaps they can come up with tokens for it that say, “I gave online.”
The idea isn’t particularly a new one as other houses of worship, including some in Georgia and California, have begun to place ATMs inside their doors on the off chance that the faithful forgot their checkbooks.
