Talking Tech and Saving the Earth
Thank you for your questions about where the show has been this week. We appreciate your concern as we take care of Max's mom, who's been in the hospital for the last week. We hope that next week will bring more weekday shows...
Help Jennifer make a difference - she's volunteered to film an HD TV commercial for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. They "cure childhood cancer, one cup at a time." She has a script, has funded part of the set and has a Hollywood director ready to shoot the commercial. She has set a goal to raise the rest of the money through donations and auctions, and you can get involved by going to JenniferSmart.com and clicking on the Help Me link.

Call 800-39-ONLINE or email radio@onlinetonight.com and we'll address your questions or comments on the air. Don't forget to let us know by email if you want a free Online Tonight bumper sticker, and we'll get you the instructions on how to do that.
