Homeless Man With Golden Voice Saved By Social Media And Grace Of God

I was EXTREMELY happy when I came across this video. Earlier during the day I had came across the original video about the homeless man with the golden voice on Youtube. I felt really bad for him, and even sent an email to Tyra.com to see if maybe Tyra could do something to help this man get back on his feet. Within a few hours of writing that blog post, I came across a news article on Yahoo News that showed that the same man has indeed been given a job, and was making plans to go visit his mother back in New York. I am absolutely amazed at the power of social media. If the same story had ran on television, it probably would have been weeks (if ever) that the man would have gotten any help. Another example of the power of social media to push a news story to the forefront is the one regarding Antoine Dodson's sister being attacked in their home. Had that just ran on television, the news story would probably have never made it past the confines of their local area.

I am definitely happy for the homeless guy with the great speaking voice, and wish him the best at the second chance that he has been blessed to have been given to do something meaningful, and worthwhile with his life.

FreeLoader Solar Battery Charger

I know there have been times when I've been playing on my PSP or listening to music on my iPod, and the battery dies. If you're near an electrical outlet, this isn't to bad of a situation, but there are other times when I can't get to an electrical outlet when my battery died (there's a restaurant in Dallas called Loft 610. Great place to eat, but they have virtually no outlets). That's where the FreeLoader comes in. The best way to describe this device is that it's a compilation of mini solar cells, is very portable, can easily be charged up, and holds onto the power it has obtained for up to three months (pretty cool, huh?). After you get it charged up you can then use it to charge up your electronic devices and gadgets such as your MP3 player, iPod, PSP, and so forth. This device of convenience is just barely bigger than a cell phone and is made of aluminium (the lightweight variety). Plus, the FreeLoader can be pulled open to uncover not one, but

MrBeast Burger - My Experience

  *** DISCLAIMER: At the time of this writing, I did not work for MrBeast or any of his affiliates. Also, I used my own money to pay for the meal mentioned and reviewed in this writing. If you have ever scoured the Internet looking for entertaining videos besides the latest cute cat video... You have, undoubtedly, come across a video by MrBeast . MrBeast is a very well known Youtuber with millions of subscribers stretching across several channels. In his videos, MrBeast, along with friends Karl, Chris, and Chandler can be seen doing crazy stunts and giving away large sums of money to people of various walks of life. Recently, MrBeast decided to create MrBeast Burger - a virtual restaurant brand where people can use a branded mobile app or website to order fast food items delivered to their door ( in some areas, you can actually pick up the items yourself, but at the time of this writing, that option was not available in the DFW area ). \ I really do admire all of th
