Do You Know a Hero With a Heart?
Are you up for helping a non-profit volunteer win a $5,000 award? If yes, read on.
If you’re like most people, you get most of your inspiration from people who are quietly changing the world each and every day. I know I do.
They’re not on the front page of the newspaper, and they’re not mingling with the Gates and Buffets of the world… or heck, even the Shankmans and Brogans of our world.
They’re everyday people like you and me who have shown extraordinary commitment to making this world better than when they found it.

I also don’t recommend implementing tools willy-nilly because they are free.

I know I said yesterday that I couldn’t find the words to adequately express my thoughts about the “Digital Death” campaign, but I just couldn’t help myself.
If you’re catching up, notice anything different over the past few days?
No? Hmm. Are you sure? You mean the sun still rose in the east, and your days have been going (relatively) according to plan?
Uh oh. Someone had better tell Alicia Keys, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest, Lady Gaga and a whole host of other celebrities who, on December 1st, underwent a “digital death.”
