This time last year I produced a blog for a fantastic Pokemon themed project that aimed to raise money for charity. The year before that I told people in chat. This year…  I am going to do both, and more! An exert from the blog read like this:

The project involved a group of students playing Pokemon games on webcam for 96 hours straight. The way in which they rasied money was simple, they would ask  people to donate cash to their chosen cause - which was the Japanese Earthquake…

  As you guys probably know, domestic abuse is a huge problem that is often ignored, as it's viewed as quite taboo, and something people don't really want to think about. However it's something that really gets me, so a group of teens and I from The Challenge decided to hold a sponsored 'Deadly Stroll For Undead Violence' to raise awareness and funding for the charity SDASPS (…

Guys I did it! unfortunately I had to download a new thing to make the video, hence the watermark. IF I REACH £1000 MY BOYFRIEND WILL SING A DUET WITH ME (he's the weird one who makes stupid comments throughout)

Today marked my 20th video, and my midpoint in my 3 month vlogging journey. So, to give a treat to the 32 awesome subscribers that actually like my videos and watch them, I decided to make one video every day in the rest of July.

In addition to awesome increasing strategy, I've also decided to allow my subscribers to come up with a challenge/punishment to do for every 50 subscribers I have. Likely, I will hit 50, considering…

I attended a high school in Cedar Rapids Iowa called John F. Kennedy High School. Right now, there are terrible things being put in to play at my Alma Matter. The principal, one Dr. W, is trying to take the Industrial Technology Education rooms, and turn them into a "strength training" facility for the athletic department. This facility is only described as "not including weight training equipment." Now, this school already has a weight room and a great number of athletic facilities,…

Whilst growing up, one of the biggest impacts on my earlier years was a little anime called Pokemon, heard of it? Whether it was waking up extra early to watch Pokemon on SM:TV Live Saturday morning, going to school and playing with the trading cards or playing the legendary games Blue and Red. It's safe to say it played a massive part in my childhood xD. So turn forward time to just under a year ago, when a guy comes into the Ning chat, and announces a little project he has going with a few…

Hey guys!

Tilly and I are watching Sport Relief, and for Easter holiday we thought we would do something like a sponsored run, or swim, or cake sale, or... silence?

Just need some ideas, thanks guys!

Have you been in the friendzone? Sucks, right? Well I've been around long enough to know what it's really about. And there's only one real solution...give up, either leave the relationship, or start acting like a real friend.

I don't know if I may be asking to much of people here but I urge you all to donate to the wonderful, worthy, inspiring charity that is Eyes Alight. This charity suprisingly means quite a lot to me and I hope you all share my opinion that raises money for them. So if you do n the odd occasion have a bit of spare change, £1, £10, £100, I truly do urge you to donate it to this charity as I have never really seen a charity that could deserve it more. (P4A is also like this).

Hello fellow Nerdfighters,

So Hank and John spend a lot of time talking about how we should increase awesome and decrease suck, which sure makes sense. The trick is figuring out how to do that, and this web community has been amazing at charitable "work". As such, I thought you would appreciate this new opportunity.

My friend (another nerdfighter) and I recently started a website that makes increasing awesome incredibly simple. After adding our browser extension, all…
