Have you heard of Transformation Nation – or Dr.Oz’s goal of transforming all Americans from 7 different aspects of our lives?
Well if you haven’t, I urge you to go check out his website because this is a big deal and if you are the winner of this transformation nation project, you can win a million bucks!!
Dr.Oz is known for many things – in my eyes he is the Oprah of health. Anything that comes out of his mouth is taken with very high regard, and he instantly makes skeptics his followers. I’ve been watching and listening to his advice for years and am very excited to be a part of this program.
Check out DoctorOz.Sharecare.com for more details and be sure to tell your friends.

Wow – William S. Dietrich II, a Pittsburgh native, is going to donate $265 MILLION just because…he loves it. Now how would you show your love?
Makes me feel like going back for Carnival each year, and donating to CMARC just isn’t enough…hmmm…
Now those that are not familiar with Carnegie Mellon – here’s a quick scoop:

Celebrating 30 years of greatness usually occurs in a club, or in a tropical destination with all of your closest friends – at least in my world, but in HP’s world it’s held in a very intimate setting, with folks passionate in a plethora of things. That’s how my Tuesday evening began. Actually, it began after I greeted HP’s lovely Laura Harich, and then spotted a fellow CMU alum, whose father was also in attendance, who also loved CMU…great times! I love running into my fellow Tartans everywhere I go – especially when its at a technology event, or simply an event that brings working brains together.
Back to the topic at hand – in a dimly lit backroom, hidden in a steakhouse in the financial district, I was introduced to HP’s masterpiece – the HP 12c. I didn’t tell a soul in the room that I had never heard about the 12c, but now, shoot, I can talk to you all for at least an hour about it.

Microsoft today announced it’s stylish and dear we say sexy new Touch Mouse artist edition. It’s a laser engraved mouse that is quite stunning in my opinion.
New York based artist Deanne Cheuk, was inspired by the motion of our fingers and items such as circuit boards, and as you can see from the image to the right it’s a gorgeous design. I can’t wait to rub my fingers over it and find out what it feels like. Looks to me like it would feel nice!
But the Touch Mouse Artist edition isn’t just about having a great mouse, it also features multitouch technology which allows you to make gestures on the mouses surface and the ability to you se 1, 2 or 3 fingers. Clicking, swiping, pinching flicking and snapping have never been sexier!

Have you heard about “Jonathan’s Card”? A gentleman was doing a social/technological experiment and it involved Starbucks coffee.
He made his Starbucks card available on his website, and yes you guessed it, he made it available to ANYONE. He even had a twitter account open that was updated with the card’s balance. One of the things that GOOD reports is how many people not only used the card, but actually contributed and donated to it’s balance! (People can be so sweet!) I am sorry to report, but as of this past Friday, the card has been shut down by Starbucks (see Jonathan’s note on his website). Is this the future of how we will make payments at stores, not only Starbucks. No more plastic? Can you imagine?
Would you use an app on your phone to pay for your coffee? Another question, would you be concerned about the security around having your credit card so readily available?

Tom’s One-for-One movement is well known. Buy a pair of shoes and Tom’s gives a pair of shoes to a person in need somewhere in the world. This business model has been so successful that Tom’s has expanded its model into saving sight. For each pair of Tom’s eyeglasses purchased, somewhere in the world (Tibet, Nepal and Cambodia with plans to expand…) someone receives the eye exam, eye glasses, medication or surgery they need to restore vision. That’s visionary (pun intended)! By protecting our eyes from the sun with Tom’s sunglasses, we prevent damage to our eyes and restore vision to someone else in the world. Want to know more? Check out the story at Tom’s website, watch the video and shop!

You have all heard me rave about how much I adore and depend on my Netflix streaming. The ability to stream Netflix is one of the first things I look for in my Smart Devices (iPhones, Android Phones, Windows Phones, Nintendo Wii, Boxee Box) because we stream our children’s videos and we love documentaries! I just got an e-mail from Netflix thanking me for my business and advising me that they are almost doubling what they charge me for my current service….a hug and a slap in the face and I am not sure if I want to turn the other cheek…
Effective September 1, Netflix is separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming into two separate plans and charging $7.99 a month for each…almost double what I currently pay for both. I haven’t even been a customer for 6 months…boy do I feel like I got the bait-and-switch! Continue Reading…

I have been busy fund raising for the CCFA walk in San Francisco 6/9 and became a team captain. This is why I heart the iPhone 4; I have a funding raising tool app for my walk Team Nina’s Nincompoops through the Take Steps mobile app. It keeps me updated and organized for the walk! [...]
