Al Gore’s Challenge to the Nation - Lens Updates

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Taking a different look at things today, I’ve updated the We Can Solve It lens and the Al Gore - SuperHero with his challenge to the Nation speech from yesterday. The Al Gore - SuperHero lens was created for the SuperHero project to spread the word about the We Can Solve It Campaign.

Al Gore Challenge SpeechIn his speech Former Vice President Al Gore called for a “man on the moon” approach to the solving the problem of global warming. He challenged the nation to take bold steps towards solving the climate crisis.

You can view excerpts from the speech or the full speech on both lenses.

I am glad that I am finally going to see Mamma Mia this afternoon. I need a bit of escapism in these dark times.

I also happened to discover that my SuperHero lens on Amy Jaffe Barzach and the Boundless Playgrounds is the Number 1 in topic for Non-Profits.

    Mamma Mia! The Music is Here! The Movie is Coming!

    Friday, July 11th, 2008

    Mamma Mia is being called the feel good cinema event for the summer, or “Grease” for the older generation. For anyone who remembers listening to ABBA, this is the summer fun film for you.

    I am *so* excited about the Mamma Mia movie coming out this month (July 18) that I not only made one, but two lenses on the topic.

    We love Mamma Mia! is a Squidflix lens that explores the Mamma Mia! Movie. Weigh in your whether you’ll be seeing the Movie and whether or not you like the music of ABBA. It is currently ranked # 5 on the Top 100 Best Squidflix Films.

    Mamma Mia! - The Movie, The Music, The Musical, The Song explores even more about the movie, including the connection with September 11, 2001 (9/11), interviews with some of the stars, a look at the Mamma Mia, the musical that the movies is based upon and finally the song by ABBA that inspired it all.

    We’ve been listening to the album since it came out on Tuesday and they’ve been dancing in their “car” booster seats. My girls even wanted to take it over to Grandma’s yesterday to keep listening to it.

    I’ve added both Mamma Mia lenses to the Favorite Giant Lens Contest. It would be great to have these lenses featured on the day that Mamma Mia comes out in the theater.
