Product Red

Just a quick shout out to Product Red. If you haven't heard about it, basically what they do is partner with some of the biggest companies out there to sell one of their products with the Red label. What this means is that at least part of the proceeds from the purchase of that Red product go directly towards the Global Fund to help fight AIDS in Africa by providing treatments.

Some of the companies include Apple, American Express, Gap, Armani, Starbucks and Dell. Apple sells a special Red iPod Nano which costs exactly the same as the regular iPod Nano, but in this case the funds go towards an amazing cause. Check out the site to see all of the partners and the products offered--they also list how many days of treatment one purchase can provide, and you might be surprised at how far a Red purchase can go.

So consider me an official supporter of Red and the Global Fund. If you read this and have your own website or blog, I implore you to go Red if you support the cause by going to this site and entering the code they give into the HTML of your own site.

I've been pretty busy lately, but I should have a new batch of posts coming before the end of the month so keep an eye out. Also, I intend to start working on the strip again soon--you might just be seeing some more of Mud in the next few weeks. Until then...buy a Product Red shirt!
