Another new entry for our Do-It-Yourself area. It’s a description, more or less, of the process we go through to make Pinky Show episodes. Maybe not interesting to most people, but for what its worth, here it is.

Also, Pinky is back from her short trip to Seattle, Washington. She did some interviews and took lots of photographs, which will appear in upcoming episodes. For our travel present she brought back a book, it came in a plastic bag from the UW bookstore, cool. The title is Where the Lightning Strikes: The Lives of American Indian Sacred Places. She forgot to peel off the price sticker, it cost $10.

Some people have asked for Pinky Show banners or buttons for their website, blog, MySpace page, etc. I finally got around to making some tonight. The file is small (124kb, zipped); it contains 9 different graphics of various sizes in it. Download the kit by clicking here. I hope you like them.

I just posted our newest video, How To Solve Illegal Immigration. Although this is the first video that has Daisy in it, we’ve actually known Daisy for a long time. The video can be watched by clicking here.

In other news, we will be opening a brand new area on our website soon. It’s really good, to me this new area will be just as important as our video archive in the long run. Pinky told me to announce it but I like secrets.

Mimi & Kim have set up an account with MissionFish, the organization that allows non-profit organizations like ourselves to do fundraising through eBay. The program is called eBay Giving Works and it’s a very creative program that’s already helped thousands of non-profits raise millions of dollars. It works by:

1) Allowing non-profit organizations a way to sell donated stuff on eBay and use the proceeds to fund their projects.

2) Providing a way for people to sell their unwanted or excess stuff on eBay, and donating the proceeds to The Pinky Show.

Pretty neat. We’re hoping that people will give it a try. To find out more about the The Pinky Show at eBay Giving Works, please follow this link:

Today we are opening a new area at the Pinky Show website. Since we lack imagination, we are tentatively just calling it ‘the Conversations area’. The idea is simple but we are very excited about it - basically we’re going to use this area to archive (in text form) some of the conversations that we’ve had with others, or even conversations we’ve had amongst ourselves, that have been important to our learning.

We’re kicking off the new area with an interview Pinky did with psychotherapist Shirin Shokouhi on the subject of violence. She talks about violence at the interpersonal level but also between nations. It is very eye-opening. I hope people will take some time to consider what Ms. Shokouhi has to say. Especially since at this very moment our leaders are trying to create a new war, this time with Iran.

We will be adding more conversations on a regular basis.
