What kind of world do you want?

Thanks to everyone who has let me know about this charity for Autism Speaks over the last couple of weeks. Here are the details:

So many cool things happening these days on the internet. Love this opportunity to do good in this crazy medium of connectivity.

Speaking of connectivity, I got to chat with Kevin Bacon on the phone yesterday (that was when Paolo was playing blanket train with Simon). As the founder of SixDegrees.org he was the originator of that spectacular contest that so many of you generously participated in over the last few months.

It was really cool to get the opportunity to thank him personally for taking a chance on such a cool charity set-up. Our conversation was an interview that will be available as a podcast on the Six Degrees site soon (I think next week). We talked about the how I heard about the contest, my personal connection with autism, what the whole thing meant to me, connectivity, the power of people, one + one, etc. It was cool. He is cool.

They chatted with each of the top 6 badges so I am excited to hear from the others about their experience.

And, we did come out on top.

Awesome.
