Be The Change Blog Party

This Friday the regularly scheduled weekend update will be preempted for my entry in the Be The Change Blog Party.

In the meantime I ask you to do three things for me:

1. If you have a blog, post this widget:

   <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="150" height="230" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="flashvars" value="EggId=1176455" /><param name="data" value="http://www.firstgiving.com/widgets/fgwidget.swf" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="src" value="http://www.firstgiving.com/widgets/fgwidget.swf" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="150" height="230" src="http://www.firstgiving.com/widgets/fgwidget.swf" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="transparent" quality="high" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" data="http://www.firstgiving.com/widgets/fgwidget.swf" flashvars="EggId=1176455" align="middle"></embed></object>

2. Share this post (or your own if you create one) on Facebook. Tweet it, digg it, reddit it (sic), do whatever you can do to spread the word!
3. If you can, give.
