• I didn't get eaten by sharks tonight on the Discovery Channel

  Tuesday, Jul 29, 2008 6:42AM / Members only

  Hey everyone,
  
  I was kicking myself because I thought I'd forgotten to send this out in time, but I just remembered I'm a day ahead since I'm in Korea.  The Discovery Channel show I co-hosted for Shark Week is airing tonight at 10pm.  I won't be able watch it until I get home next week, so please don't ruin the ending for me (if I get devoured, I'll be bummed).  I hope to catch up with all of you soon!

  How Not To Become Shark Bait

  Premiering Tuesday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT
  

  This premiere pulls together a thrillseeking team with a purpose: escapologist Jonathan Goodwin, former lawyer turned Survivor winner and adrenaline junkie Yul Kwon, marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan and scientist Dr. Marty Jopson travel to the Bahamas to test shark attraction theories on lemon, tiger and Caribbean reef sharks, focusing on the sensory perception of sharks including colors, vibrations, smells and other attractors.

  In the process, viewers learn strategies for staying safe when in the water.

• Thank you for success of bone marrow drive

  Monday, Jun 30, 2008 2:16PM / Members only

  I wanted to thank everyone who came out to get registered for the bone marrow, as well as all the volunteers who gave up part of their Sunday to help out. We registered over 45 customers in three hours, which is pretty darn good (I've had drives that have gotten as little as three, but maybe that says more about me than anything else). We're donating all proceeds from the new registrants to the Asian American Donor Program. Thanks again!

• Seriously, for real this time... Bone marrow drive on Sunday, 4pm-7pm

  No more head fakes, I swear. If we change the day of the bone marrow drive again, I'm stripping naked and giving free yogurt to everyone (not that anyone would have an appetite anymore...).

• NEW TIME for bone marrow drive: Saturday, June 28, 4pm-7pm

  Saturday, Jun 28, 2008 3:36AM / Members only

  Sorry the last minute change, but we're going to hold the bone marrow drive on Saturday, June 28, from 4pm-7pm. If you were planning on coming tonight to get registered, I'll be there with testing kits that you can take home and fill out at your leisure.
  
  Thanks for your help!

• Bone marrow drive at Red Mango this Friday, June 26

  Friday, Jun 27, 2008 1:44PM / Members only

  Hey everyone, we're hosting a bone marrow drive at the store on Friday, June 26, from 8pm-10pm in an effort to find a match for Michelle Maykin, a 26-year old Cal grad who desperately needs a donor.
  
  I'll be taking yogurt orders personally and serving it to anyone who signs up at the table outside (so you don't have to wait in line), and we'll donate proceeds from all volunteers to the Asian American Donor Program. You can visit Michelle's website at http://projectmichelle.com to learn more about her and her cause.
  
  If you haven't gotten registered yet, please try to come out. There are a lot of people out there, mostly kids, who need our help to have another chance at life. As many of you know, my best friend in college died from leukemia because he couldn't find a perfect match, and it breaks my heart to see so many people out there still in need because not enough of people have volunteered. So let's work together to make a difference in other people's lives and enjoy some good yogurt while we're at it.
