It’s in You to Give

One of my goals for 2010 was to donate blood regularly.

I’m proud to report that I donated blood four times in 2010 bringing my life time donations to 20.

I’ve already given blood once in 2011!

Because blood is the most precious gift.

Call 1-888 2 DONATE [Canadians] to make the appointment to save a life.

The video is a remix by YouTube member damewse with the explanation “NASA is the most fascinating, adventurous, epic institution ever devised by human beings, and their media sucks.” The audio is the late, great Carl Sagan taken from one version of the audiobook version of Pale Blue Dot.

Accepting Applications for iPhone Sociology Research

I read with a big smile on my face all the stories about iPhone mania. It’s awesome to think of so many people having fun and sharing an experience.

It also reminds me what animals we are. Animals looking for attention, companionship, and to be part of a big social event.

This leads me to also imagine the sociology conferences before and after such an event. What an exciting time to be a sociologist!
