About Me:
All Nerdfighters fight World Suck in their own way. If it wasn't for the Nerdfighters, I wouldn't be able to fight World Suck through the my little project.

My only regret is that I wasn't able to discover Hank, John, and Nerdfighting until last November :-(
Favorite Books
Harry Potter, The End of Poverty, Da Vinci Code
If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?

Thank You YouTube - Project for Awesome



For this year's Project for Awesome, I decided to pull out all the stops and show you guys a lot of the stuff I've been doing but haven't had the time to put into individual episodes or videos. I keep saying that this project is less about me and more about the community behind it - hopefully this latest video helps convey that.

And… Continue

Sacrifices, Challenges, & Opportunities



Where do I begin? There was no one word that could describe how I felt as I was packing up to go home. I felt kind of foolish because the real straw that broke the camel's back was my dead LaCie harddrive. When I got home, after the culture shock, I felt lucky. The blood tests I took here helped explained why I… Continue

Challenge Poverty (with Save the Children)



Choosing has always been the hardest part of this project. I've tried my best to share all the emotions I've had during this project like the joy of helping children in the Hill-Tracts, or the anguish and sense of powerlessness during Cyclone Sidr disaster relief, or the craziness involved in… Continue

Meet Max: The Incredible Psychic Dog

IMG_2240

This is Max - my grandmother's dog. He's not your average dog though - Max is psychic. I kid you not.

Max is normally an outdoor dog - he hates being indoors. He only comes indoors when he knows there is going to be flooding. I don't mean to say that he… Continue

The last time I heard of Count Flaunteroy was when Jeremiah (aka "Bernard Smith") made that "YouTube Is My Life" video. You sure this isn't one of his brilliant works? Hes really good at that stuff.

Lost in Translation II

A couple of days ago, I wrote about my frustration trying to translate a single word a young cyclone victim had told Paul. Although it may not seem like much, here’s the fruits of that 14+ hour labor: What you might not see in this video – because I did have to edit it a bit [...]

Lost in Translation

These past 14 hours have served as an example of one of the many frustrating challenges a project like this faces. What many non-Bangla speakers sometimes don’t realize, is that there are many variations of Bangla. There is city Bangla, Bangla used by those who emigrated away from Bangladesh, and rural village Bangla. Each one comes [...]

Out of the Frying Pan…

When my friend Paul stepped off that plane at Zia International Airport in Dhaka, he thought he was going to get away from it all. For the past several months, Paul has been living in Nepal. He’s seen regular riots, curfews, day-long power outages, and frequent water shortages. Bangladesh, by comparison, was a place he [...]

Back Home from Disaster Relief

Thanks to Morgan for all those blog posts – I couldn’t have kept you guys up-to-date without her help. Now that I’m back from the disaster area, I will be closing the Cyclone Aila Relief Fund in the next 24 hours. I’m leaving it open for one more day just in case there is anyone who [...]

Disaster relief – Day Three

I mentioned yesterday that Shawn and Paul were headed into the field to hand out the non-food family disaster relief kits to families in need. For those of you who donated, he was able to post cameraphone images of those he gave the kits to. If you’ve been following him on Twitter, you’ve already seen [...]

Hey Shawn. We tried, but as you said on your blog, they didn't follow the stipulations they said they would when judging. It seems rather farcical.

I still believe in you. So do the rest of us. We still support you with all of our hearts and will continue to do so.
