Those of you that know me know that I have a huge love for animals, sometimes even more so than people. I have always volunteered time to help rescue groups but the work I did was all virtual, creating websites, helping with social media, donating money, etc. I did volunteer at my local animal shelter for a while but I really didn’t feel like I was doing anything of value there.

I setup space on one of my dedicated servers and moved the site over. That was it until recently when I was approached again but this time it was to […] Read more »

As parents and concerned citizens I’m sure most of us at one time or another have been confronted with the question of lead poisoning. But have you asked yourself what your government is doing to protect your children from lead contained in toys? The answer? They’re banning toys, taking books from schools and libraries, hurting low income families, killing entrepreneurial spirit and risking putting the economy in an even greater depression than we’ve seen in decades. I’d like to introduce you to their solution: the CPSIA. Do you […] Read more »

Governor Paterson has proposed cuts to the Zoos, Botanical Gardens and Aquariums in NY state. This funding (ZBGA) has been in place for over 30 years and was created to make sure that our zoos, gardens, aquariums all have funding in hard economic times.
