Hi folks, I've just made a donation to Soldiers' Angels Project Valor-IT. It's a very worthy cause helping wounded servicemen and I'd strongly recommend you donate whatever you can.
Pick a team- Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines- and give what you can to help those who have been wounded. Team Marines are currently in the lead- so do what you can to either keep them in front or help your preferred branch to do better. It also helps to spread the word so tell your friends and family too.
Project Valour-IT helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries. Items supplied include:
# Voice-controlled Laptops - Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.
# Wii Video Game Systems - Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities).
# Personal GPS - Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.
I just want to add- I'm a British citizen but the work American servicemen do, currently fighting terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, serves to benefit not just America but the UK and many other nations. I'm thankful for the courage and dedication of America's servicemen and women.

my caps key is stuck so please be patient. pixar has the rights for the script for 'a princess of mars. they will screw it up they are hollywood. burroughs has millions of fans in all walks of life. i would like you to blog, i cant write well, and try to get this made on the net. the book is public domain. fans can do it right. please get the word out. the internet can beat hollywood with this. we can make this movie as a hobby and do it right. erb has fans that are graphic artists, programmers, writers, sales, marketing. we make make a profit or not, but we can make the right movie. of course it would have to be cgi, and maybe a mini series. i can do some leg work but am in the wilds of idaho so must be online. of course i expect to be paid for my idea. i want 99 percent of the gross or 4 dvd copies of the finished product, one signed by all contributors would be nice. i would like everyone who sees this to say 'that was just like i pictured it in the book.' you can see why i need your communication skills.
ps. when are you coming back
