What’s Your Pledge? Be the Change

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Obama Poster ChangeAshton Kutcher and Demi Moore debut their Celebrity Pledge today on the Oprah Winfrey Show featuring more than 50 celebrities making a pledge from Eva Longoria Parker pledging to “plant 500 trees this year to help our planet,” or Diddy pledging to “turn off the lights” to Josh Groban pledging his support of the arts.

They hope to encourage everyone to take the pledge and support in coming President Barack Obama. As Ashton wrote in their press release:

“The Presidential Pledge is a platform for people across the nation and throughout the world to make a first-person commitment of service to our new president, articulating a specific intent or action to become an agent of positive change.”

Watch the video at The Presidential Pledge lens, join the pledge to serve all mankind and decide what you will do to help the president and be the change that we seek.

I pledge to be a servant to our president and all mankind.

Because together we can.

Together we are.

Together we will be the change that we seek.

The Presidential Pledge

I’m an Squid Angel

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Squidoo Blue Angel I am happy to announce that I’ve been chosen to join the Squid Angels. Being a Squid Angel comes with a great deal of responsibility.

The job of the Squid Angels is two-fold:

1. Blessing Lenses – To find the best of the best Squidoo lenses to bless (and help their rankings go up).
2. Cleaning up Spam – To keep the top 100 lenses free of junk and spam (and help their rankings go down).

I take the duty of being a newly appointed Squid Angel seriously. You can follow along with the Squid Angel Blessings Log (Blog) lens that I’ve created to monitor the lenses that I’ve blessed during my term as a Squid Angel. See the other existing Angels and the rest of the new angels on my Blessings Log lens.

You can see the type of lenses that I have determined are bless worthy and the list of criteria I plan to use when looking for lenses to bless.

I am likely to adopt the mode of stealth angel, slipping in when you least expect it to bless a worthy lens.
