Bacon Bits

I just received an email from Kevin Bacon!!!

Okay, so it was one of those mass emails...but it was fun to read the subject line; Chalmer, Kevin Bacon has sent you a message." LOL!

You might have played the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game...you know where you connect an actor or an actress with Kevin Bacon in six steps through the different movies and such that they've been in.

For example, take Val Kilmer. Val has never been in a movie with Kevin, however, he has been in a movie with Tom Cruise (Top Gun.) Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with KEVIN BACON....That's a quick one.

Well, Kevin has discovered a way to make the game so much more than a gimmick. As a matter of fact, this could turn into something legendary.

A year ago, he bought the domain name SixDegrees.org. And now, he has turned it into an online charitable-giving site, where you can find out about a favorite celeb's charitable work and make online donations to that cause.

You can also collect celebrity "badges" and attach the interactive icon to your outgoing e-mail, Web page or blog, thus creating the connections with potential to grow exponentially.

Also, you can create your own badges, which will link to their favorite charity.

The very intesting thing is that Kevin said he was inspired by Paul Newman's salad dressing.
Noticing that Newman took a simple idea - he likes to cook - and hundreds of millions of dollars later, he has this fantastic charity.
