Ok, so this is just a brief update to say that basically nothing has changed in my life. BUT, I bought a webcam so that my friends and I could start creating havoc in the video blogging field. So everyone should go and subscribe to lookslikenickcage because a) we're awesome and 2) we've already received a You Tube honor: #66 for most subscriptions ( Read more... ) -

So, remember when I was gonna keep doing the links thing until the end of the year? Right. I got the flu. Sorry! I'll probably just randomly post links as I think of them from now on but I got most of the ones I really wanted to share out there. So keep clicking and do some good.
Also, I got a tattoo:

day 14: over the river and through the woods...
So, I know I just posted the link to the geocaching website but Steve brought another fun activity to my attention that doesn't require a GPS unit. Check out letterboxing, it's very similar but more like a traditional treasure hunt. The website has lots of good information to help you get started and is very easy to use. Have fun! -
day 13: hark the herald angels sing...
If you haven't checked out Pandora radio yet, then you definitely should. Pandora uses The Music Genome Project to analyze songs and pair them accordingly. You enter a song or artist and Pandora will create a channel based on your suggestion using music that is similar in style. Sometimes it can be way off, but mostly it does a good job. So give it ( Read more... ) -
day 12: guiding the wisemen on their way...
If you haven't heard about the awesome new hobby of geocaching, but you should definitely check it out. Now, you have to have a GPS receiver to fully participate, but it's worth taking a look. I have a feeling that prices of GPS units are going to be dropping pretty soon and/or that they're going to start making GPS units that have less features to ( Read more... ) -
day 11: the grinch carved the roast beast...
Sorry, I we went to visit my grandpa for Christmas. I don't know why I find this so amusing, but check out Whopper Freakout and see how Burger King customers react when told that the Whopper has been discontinued. We tried to convince our manager today to let us tell people that we weren't making caramel macchiattos anymore but he said no. Ah well ( Read more... ) -
day 10: reindeer games...
Ok, this one's really random but it's one of the best and most addictive time-waster games in the world. I don't exactly remember how I found Tontie, but Leah and I spent hours upon hours playing it in our dorm room. It's now been updated and has some great new features so give it a try. One word of advice, though, is that it's much easier when you ( Read more... ) -
day 9: mercy mild...
This site is very similar to Heifer but with more options. Whereas Heifer basically just has animal options, Mercy Corps has lots of different kits that you can send including animal/farming kits, child education kits, women's business kits, all kinds of things depending on your interests. You can search their site for kits based on your interest ( Read more... ) -
day 8: o tanenbaum...
Smoore brought my attention to this site: Carbon Fund allows you to calculate the amount of carbon that you are contributing to the atmosphere. You can then follow their suggestions on how to reduce your carbon output and/or gives you a monetary option to donate to offset your carbon emissions. Learn more about the options on their site. Help the ( Read more... ) -
day 7: said the night moon to the little lamb...
So, I missed a day. Who's really surprised? Anyway, this one is at Rachel's recommendation: Heifer Project International is an amazing organization that provides livestock and training to less privileged people, with a stipulation that they 'pass on' one of the animals to another family. Giving to charity in someone's name can make a great ( Read more... )
