When we come across game apps, the usual objective is to get high scores and of course rewards. We have a lot of this on the iPhone. However, this new game app from GOSUB 60 called Bliss offers something different. Users will still get the standard high scores and rewards but can exchange them for donations over at the Beautiful Day Foundation which supports the fight against cancer.

Bliss is a combination of puzzles and matching games wherein a player would get pink ribbons when they reach a certain milestone. These pink ribbons are then exchanged for points or donations to the Beautiful Day Foundation in their quest to fight the dreaded breast cancer. The foundation is responsible for creating education to women and provides the necessary support for women inflicted with the said disease.

The Bliss app can be downloaded at the Apple App Store for $0.99. The app is also available for download for the Blackberry phones and can be downloaded at the Blackberry App World.

Here is a different kind of way to promote a cause. Cancer is certainly one of the most dreaded diseases we can ever come in contact with and to help promote the efforts of Pioneers for a cure, what better way to do it other than through songs from people who care in the music industry?

That is the intent of this new app for the iPhone, “Songs to Fight Cancer”. This app promises to deliver revived pioneer tunes for a fund raising initiative where each downloaded song is a point scored for cancer related care, treatment and research.

Embedded within the current 1.1 version of the iPhone App is a collective sing-a-long of 40 participating musicians mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain. From within the App itself, users can learn about the project, listen to streaming music previews, share information with others and connect to the Pioneers For a Cure website to make donations.

You have to wonder how large or how deep is 1 cubic feet. More so, imagine measuring 2,000 cubic feet of used computers and mobile phones. Those are quite large numbers of technological equipment that will be recycled for other uses.

Oklahoma citizens and businesses donated more than 2,000 cubic square feet of used computer equipment and used cell phones during the recent eRecycling event at the Oklahoma state capital on April 22. Equipment collected from the eRecycling event was donated to the AMBUCS share4Life Komputers Project and Cell Phones for Soldiers.

The donations will generate at least 150 refurbished computers for disabled Oklahomans and over 11,500 minutes in talk time for Oklahoma soldiers in the Middle East.

The eRecycle event was sponsored by GoGreen.OK.gov: an OK.gov initiative showcasing how Oklahoma eGovernment is helping to reduce the carbon footprint by reducing paper consumption and citizen travel to government facilities. According to a study available on http://www.gogreen.ok.gov, the state of Oklahoma has reduced paper consumption by over 35.9 million sheets of paper through the use of online government services.
