Bonds 756 — From the Fence with Sports Illustrated
Filed under: Barry Bonds, Home Run Record, San Francisco Giants
Here’s Sports Illustrated photographer Brad Mangin again, this time with his photos of Barry Bonds home number 756. It’s been fun spending so many games in the last few weeks at the fence with Brad and his assistants. (He also shot #755 in San Diego, and many others that are showing up in the magazine and web site.)
I’ve watched more baseball in the last month than I had in the rest of my life, and I’m glad I was able to be there for the fireworks and all the rest… it was amazing.
ASPCA Mobile

I subscribe to as many non-profit mobile programs as I can find (send me yours). I work with NARAL Pro-Choice America on Txt4Choice, but also helped launch The Humane Society’s mobile program, so I’m particularly interested in the messaging from ASCPA mobile. I have to say, I just don’t get it. I mean, I understand why some people would want a weekly dog or cat tip to their phone (though I’d love to find out how many subscribers there are and to hear from recipients what they think of the messaging), but I really didn’t understand their receent legislative alert:
Protect primates and people. Please visit www.aspca.org/primates and urge your legislators to support the Captive Primate Safety Act.
This is the only SMS legislative alert I’ve had from them, and it asks me to go online. The website doesn’t seem to be at all mobile friendly (though I’m viewing from an iPhone, so perhaps they’re detecting browser and serving pages accordingly) and asks me to send an email. For goodness sake, why not help me call my legislator? Or let me submit an SMS that is forwarded to my legislator? It seems much more likely that folks on the hill can make use of short sweet text messages actually written by constituents than long boring form letters that are repeated by the thousands.
What do you think?
