Here’s a quickie… Chilly from On the Bricks has asked me to help with the launch of Across The Universe by the Beatles as NASA is going to to the star Polaris, 431 light years away (that’s 431 years travel at the speed of light before our all-time favorite Beatles song reaches the 2.5 quadrillion miles away star). This is being done at 0:00 GMT February 4th, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the song, the 45th anniversary of NASA’s Deep Space Network, an international network of antennas that supports missions to explore the universe, and the 50th anniversary of NASA.

NASA has invited people around the world to play Across the Universe on their audio systems at the same time NASA beams its mp3 version into outer space. The idea was hatched by Beatles’ historian Martin Lewis, who encourages all Beatles fans to play the track as it is being beamed to the distant star. Additionally, this date will be known as Across the Universe Day. The event marks the first time a radio song has been beamed into deep space.

I did play it at the correct time… just didn’t get to publish it on time! So I will leave this up for you to enjoy… Beatles fans everywhere… rejoice!

EDIT: Please note I removed the player as it was interfering with other videos etc on my site. Visit Chilly’s site to hear the Beatles sing “Across the Universe” Thanks, Ange.

Happy New Year to all and to kick it off, I have been asked for an interview from George Kedourie who I came across during the Thirty Day Challenge which I was nicely surprised about.

Among some of the questions he wants to ask me are:

  • what I did before I entered cyberspace
  • how I got started on the Internet
  • what I would never do again in relation to Internet Marketing
  • what tips do I have for anyone starting out

This interview is open to everyone and will take place on January 2nd at 5pm EST.

This translates to:

  • January 3rd 9am on the East Coast of Australia

Please check Timezone Converter for your time.

If you visit George Kedourie dot com, he has kindly set up an option where you can type in any questions you may have for me, and there will be a recording made for those of you where the time difference is simply not appropriate. Questions will also be taken on the call so I look forward to you joining us.

As I mentioned in my last post, Twitter is a great place to get and share information with your friends. About one week ago, Ed Dale twitted this site and it went viral in no time. I must admit, it can get addictive and I have been one of those addicts.

So what am I talking about - you’re thinking. I am talking about a word game where every word you get right donates 10 grains of rice for the hungry via the United Nations.

FreeRice dot com was launched on the 7th of October, yes - just last month, and to date, there has been , 1,330,639,890 grains of rice donated.

How to Play the Game

So how does this game work. Well straight from the website, here it is:

  • Click on the answer that best defines the word.
  • If you get it right, you get a harder word. If wrong, you get an easier word.
  • For each word you get right, we donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.

They do offer a WARNING: This game may make you smarter. It may improve your speaking, writing, thinking, grades, job performance… (more)

Check it out and have fun :)

… by the way… what do you think of my face-lift?
