Grids Redux

One of my first posts was a plea to sign up for the United Devices Grid to participate in cancer research in cooperation with the University of Oxford and the National Foundation for Cancer Research.

Now the Human Proteome Folding Project has begun. I have noticed my computers participating in this project recently. CNN reported on this project here. You can download the software here and join the SunOne team to show your support. While you are typing or out for coffee or away from your computer, it will be doing its part to cure cancer or fold proteins, participating with more than 1 million other computers in these projects.

Remember, Sun's illustrious leader is positively mental over grids also.

Sarah McLachlan Redux

Back in October I mentioned that I liked World on Fire. As I mentioned before, I love this video because during it, Sarah says that a typical music video costs $150,000 but she made this one for $15. Then she she describes all the charity projects she sent the $150,000 to rather than pay LA studio costs. (One snide comment is that we may have to take up a collection for all LA production staff that did not get paid) Again I want to warn you before you watch the video at this link or at Itunes for a larger version, have a Kleenex ready. I still sniffle when I watch it.

I also added Blogoslovi to my Blog Roll because he gave the Afterglow album 4 stars. He is also concerned about cultural and spiritual issues.
