2Pz friend fame : nscience edition

someone thinks he's all that and a pack of crackers because he got his science stories published:

Brianna Commerford felt a lump. After a few months of feeling mildly ill, she was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was devastated, she was scared, and she was only 9 years old.

Five years later, Brianna is still alive thanks to an experimental treatment she received from the Children’s Oncology Group. Devoted to curing childhood and adolescent cancer, the COG is a clinical trials group that is primarily supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the largest sponsor of biomedical research in the world.

This month scientists nationwide are petitioning to protect lifesaving research programs like this one before January, when the federal government will automatically slash—or “sequester”—8.2 percent ($2.5 billion) of the NIH budget for 2013 unless Congress stops the move. The money will be withheld because of provisions in the Budget Control Act of 2011 that aimed to cut spending. Combined with the scheduled finale of the Bush-era tax cuts, the provisions are expected to push the country over the now proverbial fiscal cliff. (via)

congrats, sneakerz!

Kylie,

(redacted) is producing a series called AMERICA CAUGHT ON CAMERA: NEW YORK CITY, which will air on The Travel Channel. The series will focus on New York and will be comprised of clips that focus all the different aspects of life in this city; “weekend warriors”, street performers, unique weddings ceremonies, partygoers who don’t know when to stop, to amateur dare devils willing to risk it all, to vacationers in situations that were definitely not on the itinerary, we are left in disbelief by moments that range from comedic to dramatic.

We would like to license the video of the Man cuddles and spoons a chicken on a busy subway train in NYC. We are offering a fee of _Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00).
Please send me your full address and phone number, and I will draft the applicable license agreement, and email it to you for signature.

Best regards,

(redacted)

i dont, but carly does.

turns out that sunset is famous.

i looked up wednesday evening and realized my entire apartment was glowing bright volunteer orange. so i went up to the roof to take a look, and snapped this pixie while i was up there. looks like lots more people also loved this sunset. it really was a good one.

basil-marceaux-dot-com's famous.

just look at that coverage.

i was just perusing our analytics for the first time in forevs, and look! this covers the last month. 2Pz might me the most international blog on the planet. shit is poppin' OFF. i just wish guyana would get off its high horse. you think you're better than me, guyana?!?

the great chicken watch of 2k10: "one intrepid rider"

hopefully you've all been following 2Pz chicken story, which has gone viral all over the internet's face. just wanted to post a quick round-up blog of blogs covering our blog's blog story (meta).

gothamist picked up the story first, and emailed me for further comments. i am quoted. quoting starla.

then new york magazine picked it up, and it is now the #3 most commented story of the past 24 hours.

joel and sara emailed the story to one of our favorite celebrity blogs, dlisted, who linked to us directly, and sent several colorful emails with phrases like "i love this shit!" and "are you friends with joel? that ho already sent me this." love you, michael k!!

and later last night, the NEW YORK POST! ran it on their website, and i hope to see it in their printed paper today (i have to get one). they talk about me! ...but think i'm a boy. ;( it is the #1 most emailed story right now.

so that's all the coverage for now. i hope you're all proud! we couldn't have done it without your support, obvi. well, we probably could have, but there would be no one to share this momentous occasion with.

2Pz next goal in chicken-gate: make the nymag aproval matrix. highbrow. brilliant. fingers crossed!
