I just caught the end of an episode of Oprah’s Big Give on ABC. They’re doing lots of great things and really initiating some change in people’s lives.
One question presented itself in my mind tonight though.
How much money are they wasting by flying the contestants back to the Big Give HQ in Chicago or New York after each challenge?
I realize that compared to everything else they’re doing it’s probably not much. But I’m sure there are plenty of organizations or families that could really be impacted by the cost of all that airfare back and forth.

Cool! Thanks to Arieanna at b5 she’s let me know how to do a reversed ordered list in HTML.
Originally she thought <ol reversed> would work, but it didn’t.
Oh well, this is still cool.
Are you at the office? Are you at this office? This is my office and we’ll be watching some basketball over the next couple of weeks.
Please forgive the badly stitched together photos but wanted to give some idea of the panoramic shot from my desk.
It’s nice having a digital projector and a nice blank space (where the whiteboard was) on the wall to get a nice, large diagonal picture size.
Don’t worry, I’m not at risk of losing employment. That’s the boss across the desk from me.
Will you be skipping some "billable hours" to watch March Madness.
If I see one more Survivor contestant quit or give-up, or just complain and cry about what they’ve gotten themselves into I’m going scream!
Have they not seen the show? Are they clueless? Did they think they missed the episode where the maid staff showed up and made the bed before leaving a mint on the pillow?
My wife had a good idea. If someone quits or has to be removed from the island without being voted off then the last person voted off comes back in their place. The only thing I don’t like about that idea is that it gives a person who has been “voted off” by the tribe another chance. Maybe it would be better to have two or three alternates available to step in if needed.
Here’s a photo of the b5ranch in Austin for SXSW 2008. What a great time with everyone. It was nice meeting everyone from the b5 crew that I’ve been working with for almost 3 years now but have never met in person. Arieanna, Jeremy, Shea, Darren, Aaron, Brian, Chad, Mark, Tris, Joey, CJ, Joe, Ed, and of course Darcie and Laura, the ones responsible for drawing my name for the winning registration for SXSW.
Great times guys and gals! Can’t wait till next year or the next event, whichever comes first.
As many of you already know, I’m a bit of a pyro. I got to exhibit my fire-starting capabilities for the BBQ at the b5ranch Party.
One interesting story as it relates to the bonfire is that I could have been killed while building it. I was at the ranch by myself on Tuesday so I started to collect wood and limbs for building the fire. There was a small stack of wood next to an old fire pit that a group previous to us used. I went to grab one of the last pieces of the stack and when I pulled it up there was a little baby snake that took off through the grass. After looking at examples of snakes in the area, I think it looked like a Texas Rat Snake. Seeing the snake quickly caused me to remember that I was in Texas and not Indiana and I might want to be a little more aware of what could be hanging out under pieces of wood. I then looked closer at the piece of wood I had in my hand before I dropped it after seeing the snake. There was a chunk of bark that was loose and I could tell something was hiding under it. When I got a stick and pried the piece of bark back there was a scorpion under it! It kind of looked like this one, but shorter with a fuller body. I don’t know why I didn’t go and get my own camera to take a picture of it. My kids would have loved it!
