C-isms

Mom (in the AM, before breakfast): "Sweater? It is cold?" C: "No. I want a blanket." C wraps around herself, shuffles around and says: "You have done well young Padawan, you have done well." 9/8/12
C: "A great teacher would remove the word 'impossible' from the classroom dictionaries." [Why?] "Because nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it."
Mom, lost in a park near their house, "I can't find a trail." C: "Lets blaze one!"
C: "Steph-anne Hawkins is not as smart as Einstein because Albert Einstein could do quantum physics and quantum mechanics in his head, while Steph-anne Hawkins, with all due respect, can only do physics. No offense to Steph-anne Hawkins, partially because he is the smartest man alive." Mom (in all seriousness, and remember that she is a regular reader of Scientific American): "What is quantum mechanics?" C: "It is how particles move." 9/26/11

Red Vault (www.redvault.com) is a cool, cool on-line gift-card purchasing site. You buy a gift card for a store or service, like Gap, or Avis Rent a Car, even Armani Exchange, and the merchant will donate 2% to a charity you choose. Super easy! CARE, American Cancer Society, even my buddies in India, Pratham, are available. (www.pratham.org)

Everyone's brother, cousins, husbands, and mother-in-laws love, love, love gift cards. A win-win-win for you, the giftee, and the charity. see www.redvault.com

Shout out to my buddy, Asanka de Mel. Asanka is the genius behind this. Thanks to my boss, Marin, for the intro.

Math Confused?

I gave my nephew $50 card for Sonic - a very cool drive-in restaurant.

It will generate a $2.50 donation, above the $50 I paid - no cost to me.

Why? because the merchant is just so happy to have a website to drive people to purchase gift cards to his Sonic restaurant.
