Making Squidoo lenses for charity

Making Squidoo lenses for charity is a good thing, and lensmaster bdkz has started bdkz's Squidoo Charity Challenge. Each month a different charity will be featured and lensmasters can submit their G rated lenses by converting their lens to give all the earnings to the specified charity and add it to a plexo on the challenge lens.

Check out the lens bdkz's Squidoo Charity Challenge for April 2008. In the list of lenses, my favorite is the Singing Dogs Video Showcase. The more serious lenses are nice of course too, but the singing dogs are too funny to not be my favorite.

The lenses I submitted to the challenge are:
Star Trek: TNG vs. Star Trek: TOS - a MonkeyBrain lens. I like TNG.

Shopping for Squid Stuff - Dried Squid anyone?

Shampoo vs Conditioner - a MonkeyBrain debate that is also debated about in the movie Billy Madison.

Code Monkey - a lens about one of my new favorite songs.

Should Cookie Monster eat food besides cookies? - a MonkeyBrain debate about Cookie Monster and his new eating habits.

There you have it! I look forward to seeing what May's challenge will be and will challenge myself to make some charity lenses each month. Why keep all the millions of dollars I am making from Squidoo to myself? Just kidding about the millions. But it does feel nice to give. Check out bdkz's Charity Challenge Blog and find out how you can participate if you're interested.

Star Trek Debate

I couldn't get it out of my head that I needed to make a MonkeyBrain debate about Star Trek. Someone had already made a Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate.

I ended up making a hmb debate asking Which is better: Star Trek TNG or Star Trek TOS?. I started it off saying I like TNG better. It was the series I watched growing up and I was really into the characters, especially Data. This isn't to say TOS is bad, I like it too.

Join in the Star Trek debate if you have an opinion on the matter! In a MonkeyBrain debate there are only two options so I chose two of my favorite Star Trek series and left out Deep Space 9, Voyager and Enterprise.

That was my Squidoo lens for the day while I am waiting for the next episode of Lost to finally air tonight! I would like to make a debate about Lost too but I haven't figured out the topic yet. Maybe tonight's episode will give me an idea.

UPDATE: Okay, here's the Lost Debate I came up with.

Evil Lensrank

This is the first time I have noticed a Squidoo lens with lensrank 666 and it is my lens. Oh joy!

Stumpedia

Check out this Squid U Post about submitting links to Stumpedia. It's a human powered search engine that you can submit your lens and other links to after becoming a member for free. Members can vote links up or down.

The site seems new as most search terms I entered didn't have any results. I submitted a bunch of my lenses to see what happens. I thought maybe it will be the next big thing and it couldn't hurt to submit. You can check out my profile and see just how crazy I went submitting links! If you create a profile let me know and I'll check out your links.

Welcome! I'm a MonkeyBrain.

Welcome to my blog. It will probably be mostly about Squidoo and the lenses I like or make.

My favorite lenses lately have been MonkeyBrain Debates!

I have only made 2 so far -
Do Ghosts Exist? - this one is pretty popular with lots of people giving their opinion.

Should you use LOL if you aren't really laughing out loud? - this one is taking more time to catch on. I thought it would be fun to start a debate after seeing nomorelol.com. The site suggests you should not use LOL if you are not laughing out loud. LOI should be used for laughing on the inside. I don't agree! I think everyone knows LOL means something was funny and who cares if you laughed or not!
