Most Helpful Blogger Award

Posted by cotojo on February 4, 2008

I received this awesome Most Helpful Blogger Award from my new friend Kylee over at Bijoux and BanterThank you so very much for your kindness and generosity.

She is relatively new to blogging and has created three new awards which are below.

Kylee said this:

“I haven’t been on the blogging scene long and am still learning the hows, whys and wheres but I do feel that I am making progress! My progress has come about not only by trial, error and fiddling but also thanks to the help & support of a few key people.

Therefore I would like to present the following awards to the following buddies!

to Colin of Life thanks for showing me the scroll box!

to Diane at Much of a muchness who makes stunning books but hasn’t got around to selling them yet! If only she would come to France!

to Susie at No damn blog whose book I read before meeting her on Total France then finding her here!”

What an amazing start to blogging, and I am sure that Bijoux and Banter will be a great asset to the blogosphere.

Across The Universe

Posted by cotojo on February 4, 2008

I’ve been tagged by  Chris from We’re Living Well and Claudette from Claudette: Lacylulu’s mama with this Across the Universe Day. Here are the details from the Chris’s site:

Today, February 4, 2008, at 00:00 GMT (7:00 p.m. New York /EST), NASA will beam the Beatles’ “Across The Universe” 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 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.

Across the Universe
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.

Join the celebration!
Bloggers, let’s do this! This blog got the track ready.  Feel free to join in.
