Having access to books is the key to literacy, yet the majority of children in low-income neighborhoods often lack libraries and bookstores. By donating your books, especially childrens books, you can impact some of the 12 million children who dont have books at home. Otherwise, these children simply wont learn to read. Imagine if you couldnt read this book.

If everyone gives up their birthday gifts this year, $3 billion dollars or more can be donated to worthy causes or needy people. Friends and family donating money in your name can be much more rewarding than getting material gifts. Giving is a lot more gratifying than receiving, no matter the occasion.

Here is a lamp that's just waiting for it's light bulb to be replaced with a more energy efficient compact florescent. Out with the old, and in with the new.
Hey! What is the meaning of this?
Compact florescents can save you money every month on your energy bill.
This is not a light bulb. This is a light bulb.
But this is just as bright as a traditional light bulb.
I don't believe that.

Another lamp, another light bulb.
Always turn off your lamps before attempting to change the light bulb.
It's good.
Halt! What are you doing?
I'm changing the light bulbs.
I have already commanded you not to do that.
But these light bulbs are brighter and use much less energy.
And look ridiculous, much like your face, and your pink hat.
I don't know how to respond to that.
Be gone with you.

Another lamp, another light bulb.
Oh, never mind. That's halogen.

One more to go. Ah ha.
You again! What do you think you're doing?
I'm changing the worlds light bulbs of course.
These light bulbs are more expensive than these light bulbs!
Yes, they do cost more at the check out, that's true, but when you factor in the amount of money you'll save on your energy bull, they're much less expensive in the long run.

Be gone, evil villain.

So remember, compact florescents save energy, and save you money, and they're just as bright as traditional light bulbs.
Until next time, always remember to floss.

I use computers a lot.
Some people might call me a geek.

I'm here to tell you that the internet is not 100% secure.
It's not 100% safe, and it's not 100$ hacker-proof.

That's the bad news.
The good news is it's not 100% dangerous either, and if you're vigilant, there are some steps you can take to minimize your risk online

Step 1: Passwords
Your first line of defense is always your password.
A good password has a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.
A longer password is always stronger. 10 characters is good, 20 characters is better.
Resist the temptation to use the same password on every website you go to.
You should use a different password everywhere you login. That way, if somebody cracks one of your passwords, they don't have the keys to your full identity.
Change your password often, like once a month. But don't make it just the name of the month.
Now everybody is going to try to login to my email with the password pathawksoctober

Step 2: Be suspicious
If you get an email from some lawyer in Europe that you've never talked to before, don't open it.
If you start seeing messages that say "CLICK HERE! CLICK HERE NOW!" Don't click on them.
Either talk to your companies IT director, or your 12 year old brother who knows more about computers than you could ever hope to know.
Either way, they can tell you how to securely get rid of these messages.

Step 3: Keep Private Stuff Private
Assume that anything you put on the internet will be there forever.
This blog will be here forever.
So think twice before posting that picture of you holding up your drivers license with you social security number and your phone number and mothers madden name.
For me, I decided that I don't mind having my real name online.
Unless Pat Hawks isn't my real name.
Maybe it's Richard.
But I'm not going to give you my mothers madden name, or my social security number, or my drivers license number, or those pictures of my boss with the feather boa around his neck.
That's important for different reasons.

Step 4: Use a Firewall and Anti-Virus Software
When you're using a computer at work, your company probably already has these tools set up for you.
If you have any questions, you can talk to your local IT master. I'm sure they'd be willing to talk to you in two hours or less about the whole network setup using big words you don't understand and looking at you like an idiot when you ask what TCP/IP stands for.

I kinda went in a different direction for this one. Instead of writing a letter, I decided it'd be more fun to sit down and interview a US Military hero.
I hope that's all right ;)
