Felicia Day

Hey all! Hope you had a FABULOUS holiday! Gonna upload a video about my vacation soon, but wanted to drop in and remind you that it’s charity donation season! I have a few places I always give to, thought I’d list them if you’re interested in some good causes to support!

Mr. Hollands Opus Foundation: http://www.mhopus.org/
Donates instruments to needy US public schools and keeps their music programs running when they’re threatened. As a former musician myself, violin got me a full scholarship to college and enriched my life in many ways. Very low overhead too. They also take instrument donations and refurb them!

I consider this the public radio of the internet. We all use it, we should support it to keep it going, because if it disappeared our internet life would be much sadder.

Stray Cat Alliance: http://www.straycatalliance.org/
I donate to several other animal charities, but this one addresses the root of the problem of stray cats. They capture, and release feral cats and prevent them from making more feral cats. Good idea!

Kiva: http://www.kiva.org/
This is a very cool charity where you’re actually giving a LOAN to small businesses across the globe, and when they repay the loan you get to re-invest the money in another business. Helping a woman in Mongolia open a clothing shop is a cool feeling

Please share any other ones you feel passionately about as well! I always check charities on Charity Navigator to see what percentage of donations go to actually helping their cause. Some of them are TERRIBLE with regards to overhead (As much as 80% going to their administration)

Ok, Happy donating!!

The last episode, the culmination of the characters, the end.

Well, it’s been an amazing journey, and it makes me sad to end it because this episode really shows how amazing these characters would be together were they to journey farther. Josmael grew up, Nyree opened up, Cairn and Tallis find redemption. The acting and SFX in this is I think the best in the series, Doug Jones actually manages to humanize Saarebas in a wonderful way. I don’t want to spoil anything for those who haven’t watched, but I look forward to hearing your overall thoughts about the series in the comments below, especially those who experienced the DLC piece with Tallis as well, how those pieces work together.

And please tune in Tuesday night of the finale if you want to our Vokle chat (info and embed in the entry below this one!)

Hey guys! To celebrate the finale of Dragon Age Redemption, I’m
hosting a live video chat on Tuesday November 15, 2011 at 7pm Pacific
time on Vokle, a cool new platform for live streaming. I’ll be joined by the show’s
director Peter Winther along with some other special guests!

With Vokle, you can submit text questions to the live chat or ask a
video question if you have a web cam. You will need to set up a Vokle
account to participate, but that’s not required if you just want to
watch. If you do sign up to participate, be sure to RSVP to the event and you’ll get a reminder about
it. The event itself is embedded here, so you can bookmark this blog
entry and watch it right here on Tuesday!
