Green, can you?

06-30-09

Last Friday on the Friday Morning Report I decided to push out a little challenge to everyone.

Next Friday July 3, 2009 there will be no live show instead FMR challenges all viewers to go into their gardens, neighbor, work place, home or where ever and “plant” something – plant a tree, flowers, something and capture what you do on video or with photos to share with the FMR crowd – if you like add your plant to the map as well and be sure if you talk about it or post content use the tag #fmrplant

Many of my reasons behind this go back to things like the 24 Hour Marathon, I believe that each of us should take a few minutes each month, week or day to do our part to make the world a little bit better. Be sure to grab your camera or video camera and capture your efforts to make the world a better place! Remember it doesn’t have to be in the ground but it can be a pot on your desk or table as well!

So my question to each of you, are you up to this? Can you do it? We’ve been planting and gardening for several weeks now but we also have something ready to go for Friday for this purpose as well!

The Friday Morning Report (FMR), will be hosting a 24 hour marathon starting on April 23, 2009 at 15:00pm CET (Central Europe). FMR which is hosted by Craig Cmehil, a British American living in Germany since 2001 and covers a variety of topics such as “Work Life Balance”, “Virtual worker technologies”, “Enterprise Software”, development, web and online services. Moving into its second season, FMR has been broadcasting weekly from its main studio in a small town close to Lippstadt, Germany since May of 2008 with an average of 150 viewers per show.

The planned 24 hour marathon is to support Doctors Without Borders, and will cover various thoughts and ideas from multiple individuals from around the world.

“Myself and many others in my social and work circles spend endless amounts of time working and taking care of what we consider to be important activities in our lives. We are all dedicated, respectable and good hearted people. I applaud my friends and co-workers for their efforts day in and day out, having a family and successful careers in this day and age are not an easy task and many on top of that give of themselves daily to help others less fortunate. For 2009, I decided that it was time I took another step, over the years I have always given time and money to certain activities local to my community to help but recently it has been reduced to simply “money” it became easy to just enter my credit card info or reach into my pocket and pull out some change or bills to drop in a bucket. Now though, I have decided that I will start checking locally for some ways I can help my community more with my own two hands and I very much want to put some of the energy that I use for my various online activities behind helping another group of professionals who spend enormous amounts of their time and energy doing amazing work all around the world.” – Craig Cmehil (24 Hour Marathon for “Doctors without Borders”) January 16, 2009.

Der Freitag Morgen Report (FMR) wird einen 24 Stunden langen Marathon, beginnend am 12. Februar 2009, ab 15:00 Uhr MEZ (Mitteleuropäische Zeit), veranstalten. FMR wird von Craig Cmehil, einem Britisch-Amerikaner, der seit 2001 in Deutschland lebt, moderiert und beinhaltet eine Vielzahl von Themen wie z. B. “Ausgleich Berufs- und Privatleben”, “virtuelle Arbeiter-Technologien”, “Unternehmens-Software”, Entwicklung, Web- und Online-Dienste. Nun bereits in der 2. Saison, sendet FMR seit Mai 2008 wöchentlich aus dem Hauptstudio einer Kleinstadt nahe Lippstadt in Deutschland, mit einem Durchschnitt von 150 Zuschauern pro Show. Der geplante 24 Stunden Marathon hat das Ziel, die Organisation “Ärzte ohne Grenzen” zu unterstützen und wird unterschiedliche Gedanken und Ideen von verschiedenen Personen aus der ganzen Welt beinhalten.

“Ich selbst und viele andere in meinem Sozial- und Arbeitsumfeld, verbringen endlos viel Zeit mit dem Arbeiten und kümmern uns um das, was wir als wichtige Aktivitäten in unseren Leben betrachten. Wir sind engagierte, angesehene und großherzige Menschen. Ich applaudiere meinen Freunden und Mitarbeitern für ihre täglichen Bemühungen, heutzutage ist es keine leichte Aufgabe, Familie und Karriere erfolgreich unter einen Hut zu bringen, obendrein helfen viele von ihnen täglich den Menschen, die weniger Glück haben. Für das Jahr 2009 habe ich entschieden, dass es für mich an der Zeit ist, einen anderen Schritt zu gehen. Im Laufe der Jahre habe ich immer Zeit und Geld in die Unterstützung bestimmter Aktivitäten meiner Gemeinde investiert, aber kürzlich hatte ich dies nur noch auf “die Abgabe von Geld” reduziert, es war ein leichtes für mich, einfach die Daten meiner Kreditkarte einzugeben oder etwas Wechselgeld aus meiner Tasche zu ziehen und in einen Eimer zu werfen. Jetzt allerdings habe ich mich dazu entschieden, vor Ort zu prüfen, wie ich meine Gemeinde besser unterstützen kann, indem ich mich selbst einbringe und die Dinge in die Hand nehme und ich möchte gern einen Teil meiner Energie, den ich normalerweise für meine verschiedenen online Aktivitäten einsetze, zurückstellen, um einer anderen Gruppe von Fachleuchten meine Unterstützung zu geben, welche sich mit enorm viel Zeit und Energie einsetzt und fantastische Arbeit in der ganzen Welt leistet” – Craig Cmehil (24 Hour Marathon for “Doctors without Borders”) 16 Januar 2009.

To my faithful listeners and supportors of the Friday Morning Report, to my friends, family and co-workers and fellow community members.

Regardless that due to an unforseen medical emergency that has me laid up in a hospital now (going on 7 days) I wish to report that we’ve made it almost completely to the $2000 goal set forth. My access is extremely limited but last I was able to tell we were sitting a mere $99 away and based on my emails I’ve received that will be easily achieved once I am back on my feet and able to reschedule the show. This delay, and that is all it is, is just a small hiccup on the road of life!

Of course there will be some of you, yes you know who you are who will think I elaborately staged this just so I’d have an interesting story tell about doctors or wait it was about blonde nurses I think you said ;-)

With this small message that I believe is being rebroadcasted by my fellow eGeeks http://enterprisegeeks.com I want to say I am fine, and pushing hard to get on my feet and out of here. My family has lots of support and are managing very well which makes this easier as well.

Your thoughts and well wishes are heard and well received – Thank you!

Craig
