Sometimes the Internet is an amazing place

Sammy Griner is better known to most of us as the wildly popular success kid meme. His dad has been fighting kidney disease since 2006; experiencing full kidney failure in 2009. His mom put up a +Gofundme campaign to raise the $75,000 that Medicare wouldn't cover. She made no mention of her son or the meme, she just posted a family picture. In seven days donations eclipsing $85,000 came rolling in (it's now over $90k!).

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
