Why is Reddit awesome?
The above image is of Omari. He was attacked after trying to ward off attackers from an orphanage. After surgery, he returned to the orphanage. The children were too scared to go back. Someone that works with Omari and Omari’s mother (the only two people that are in charge of a 35 kid orphanage) posted to reddit asking if anyone would be willing to donate to reach a $2k goal to build a better fence/wall around the orphanage to keep out attackers and to keep the children safe. In 3 hours, $11k was raised from reddit.
If you’d like to donate, go to the above link for more info.

“The text to which green refers, Fire the Bastards!, an excoriation of the Recognitions’ original reviewers, came out in the pages of a paper called newspaper, typewritten, mimeographed, and stapled on beige, legal-size paper beginning in 1957. At the beginning of February Fire the Bastards! will be reissued in book form by Dalkey Archive Press, which first collected it (against green’s express wishes) in 1992. As interesting as it is on its own merits, as both a kind of literary performance art and as a commentary on Gaddis’s work and the state of literary reviewing in general, this strange document is eclipsed by the even stranger events that followed its mysterious publication. It spurred several decades of lively literary conspiracy theories—theories so rich with questions of mistaken identity that they could have emerged from Gaddis’s own pen.”

Matt Gurney: If RIM accepts it isn’t cool, it can still thrive
I always had a soft spot for RIM, and was an early non-corporate adopter. My first Berry was great. I could type emails easily, browse the web, play music – a vast improvement over my accidentally drowned Razor

Oh, RIM. Blackberry was the king of phones for a long time. This is what happens when corporations don’t innovate. While Hollywood is still hanging on, this will be their future if we can hold out long enough. Maybe they’ll change before this happens though.](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lya0faXCOU1qze0z6o1_500.jpg)

The Challenge: During the month of February, write a letter to someone every day the post office is open.
Sounds easy enough. I haven’t written letters in forever. If you’d like to exchange letters, send me your address and I’ll start on Feb. 1st.

My friend needs about 17 more copies of The Hunger Games for her class. If you’d be willing to donate copies, I can message you the address. Thanks for your help, tumblr! You’re awesome.
I don’t get why this needed to be on the one of our company intranet sites, but apparently one of the field techs thought it needed to be there. Good job.
