From Couch Potato... to SUPER SPUD!

How did the couch potato...

...turn into a super spud?

Motivation. 

Stewart Rogers @TheRealSJR wants to raise cash and awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by getting off his lazy french-fried butt couch to run the 10K Obstacle Course Challenge. This is gonna grant wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.

I wanna help too....but I'm a draw-er not a runner. So I'm gonna draw one of YOU. Yeah!

It's a contest:

1. Go donate to Stewart's fundraiser. Give what you can. Even $1 gets you entered.
2. Leave your name and Twitter handle (or some other way to find you) in the comments below.
3. Hit the Tweet button below, and wish @TheRealSJR luck.

How will I know you've done all three? I have my eye on you (<-- see what I did there?). Contest closes Thursday November 11th, 2011 at 11:11 PM EST.

The Prize: On Sunday November 13th, one day after Stewart has survived kicked this obstacle course in the goolies, I'll draw the winner...and draw the winner. You'll get a t-shirt or mug with your "mug" on it. 

DONATE NOW.
Every little bit helps.

Find out who won!

GREEN Hallowe'en.

I always wanted to be green.

Ever since seeing that green alien in Star Trek.

Oops, no, I meant this green alien in Star Trek...

My friend Kathy (AKA @HelloPhotoKitty) is so talented.

I just love the light she gets...

...and I feel really comfortable with her.

Some subjects are a photographer's muse....but I think Kathy is my muse.

What are you dressing up as?

A safe Hallowe'en to you I wish.
Forget not your teeth to brush.
In Yoda-speak to comment you must.

Compare your KLOUT Score with your SEXYTIME!

No algorithm needed to predict this particular KLOUT Perk. And prolly the only Klout perk that comes with -K. (<-- see what I did there?)

And no, it doesn't matter which colour is which.

If you were sad to see your Klout Score drop, I hope I've cheered you up.

My KLOUToris.

WARNING: You have been warned.

My Klout score has been going down on me (<--see what I did there?) since yesterday's Klout Fall. Turns out I'm not all that influential... but the good news is that there is one person in my life I am able to influence and he's giggling over my shoulder as I write this.

The KLOUT Fall.

The big news today is that Klout changed its algorithm* to be more accurate. Yay for accuracy! I, along with many others, found our Klout scores hurtling towards certain ignominy, without a parachute. Turns out we weren't as influential as we thought we were.

Does this matter? I don't know! I have yet to figure Klout out. Here are 5 things a high Klout score probably cannot do for you:

1. Rub ointment on your chilblains.
2. Comfort you when you cry at movies.
3. Get you a roll of toilet paper when you really, really need it.
4. Draw a funny picture of you.
5. Tell you when Mr. Crusty is hanging out of your nose.
6. Feed you bacon. Wait, that's six. Okay six things then.

But perhaps Klout can actually feed you. So I want to know - have you or anyone you know ever put food on the table, i.e. landed a job or a sponsor, based on what their Klout score is? If so, I'll give you some +K and a big high five.

Drawing stuff about Klout is fun. I like it because Klout taps into a basic human condition: the need to be validated. If you're upset about your plummeting score, it might be useful to remember that Klout is not a social service, it's a business. You are valuable and awesome with -K and a big high five!

*An algorithm is a really amazing and fabulous thing that can predict stuff, like what size underwear your future mother-in-law will wear. Probably.

Watching The NOTEBOOK.

The Huz said he was 90% made of water...until we watched The Notebook the other night.

It's a beauty of a film, directed by Nick Cassavetes, a love story with stellar performances by James Garner and Gena Rowlands. A story of true love, triumphant against all odds.

I had seen it once before, a few years ago, so I knew what was coming...

Yeah, so 90% water and what's the remaining 10%...? Please tell me what movies made you cry.
