Want To Make An Easy $20?

My buddy Scott Wainner is trying to help people live longer by promoting longevity research. He came up with a very novel way to do it – he’ll give you $20 if you blog about it.

The first 100 bloggers who do a blog post about this issue to voice their demand for serious research to stop the aging process, and who write me to give me a link to their post, will each earn $20 paid via Paypal by yours truly – don’t delay to write your post and claim your easy $20!

I just took the first $20. There’s 99 more to go. Better get on it if you want a piece!

Union Gospel Mission’s Website Launch Party

Over at the Union Gospel Mission (one of the charities I support and donate to), they’ve just finished up work on their brand new website. There are lots of exciting new features, including a groundbreaking new blog maintained by the front-line workers. To celebrate the new site, the UGM would love to have you come down to their headquarters for their official Website Launch Party.

Where:
616 E Cordova St., Vancouver, BC (Drop by the front desk)

When:
Wednesday, March 12, from 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm (It’s an open house; Come and go as you please). Short speeches start at 3:30 pm.

I can’t say no to a party. See you there!
