Help Find a Cure for Blood Cancer!

Melissa Cappetti is Running 26.2 Miles to Help Find a Cure for Blood Cancer! Sounds like a great cause to run for. Below is an e-mail from Melissa with more details:

“
Hello Friends, Family, and Colleagues,

On October 19, 2008 I will run 26.2 miles at the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco to help find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. (I know…that is a lot of miles!!) I am raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) as a participant in their Team In Training program and I’m asking you to help by making a donation to my fundraising campaign.

Please use the link in this email to access my personal webpage and learn more about my progress. You may donate online quickly and securely plus you will receive a confirmation of your donation by email and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation. All donations are 100% tax deductible and 75 percent of the Society’s expenditures directly advance our mission. PLEASE help me reach my goal

*http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/nikesf08/mcappetti

If you know someone affected by cancer please email me back and share their story (and a picture if you have one). I will personally think about these individuals while I am running. It will give me that extra energy I need as I battle my way to the finish line come October.

Thank you for your help!
Melissa (Rodriguez) Cappetti

P.S. I would appreciate it if you would forward this email to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well.

Does your employer match donations? Doesn’t hurt to ask

Blog dups

I just noticed Ping.fm is posting status updates to my blogs at WordPress and Blogger! It has been corrected so they will stop showing dups.

My Cuil search engine quick review. http://ping.fm/9RfSQ

Cuil Search Engine

I’ve had a chance to play with the new Cuil (http://www.cuil.com) search engine.

At the time of writing this, the service shows that it pulls results from 121,617,892,992 web pages. That is 121.6 billion!

I tried a few different searches of my name to see what would come up. Here are the results:

chad ayers – 2,383 results

chad ayers oregon – 6,140 results but 0 displayed!

I don’t think I’ll be giving up Google anytime soon.
