Some of us don't have money to donate or time to volunteer. That's why Stanford University has made it easy for everyone to help find cures for diseases simply by installing a small application on their home pc/mac that analyzes protein molecules and then sends back the results to Stanford.

It's called Folding@home and more than 50,000 teams (600,000 users) have joined to help. Join Isara's Folding@home Team to work together to find cures for diseases.

All you need to do is download a small file (it's completely safe) and install it (takes one minute). The application runs in the background, while you're working or sleeping (as long as your computer is on, you're helping).

The internet, often a source of controversy with its predators, porn and other questionable content, has often proved also to be a great resource, helping you find your old high-school classmates, Educating your children and providing a wealth of other tools and information. Musicians looking to expand their audience have found a host of new fans on the web. Charity organizations hoping to increase revenues have also found it to be invaluable in reaching the masses.

Now, in a one-of-a-kind venture, musicians and artists from around the globe are joining forces to use this powerful tool in a whole new way!

The members of www.coldplaying.com, the largest unofficial site on the net devoted to the band Coldplay, are proud to present 'How We See The World', a collection of tracks offered to raise money the the Coldplaying Charity Club, a sub-group of the forum which helps spread the word about Fair Trade, sponsors Third World Children and supports numerous other causes.

What makes this disc unique is not only the quality independent talent it showcases, but the fact that it is the first completely 'open-source' benefit album. The music, artwork and even the title were entirely designed or chosen by forum members from around the world.

It is our hope that this project will reach far beyond the members of one on-line forum, and find its way into the hearts and minds of music lovers and the Globally conscious everywhere.

As many on Coldplaying know, some members have compiled a CD of music by members of the forum to raise money for the Coldplaying Charity Club. The CD should be available for pre-sale in early March.

We are looking for volunteers who are going to the Mexico City show, who would be willing to print and hand out fliers announcing the CD's upcoming release. A couple of designs, large and small, in colour and Black & White will be available on this thread over the next few days.

This could be the last Coldplay show for a while, and it's a great opportunity for us to promote the CD, as well as to introduce new people to the forum. Any volunteers would be greatly appreciated - Thanks in advance!

EDIT: The show will be the day after Chris's birthday...what a great gift!

Making Coldplaying.com / Coldplaying Charity Club shirts is an idea that has been talked about for eons, and now thanks to the members of Coldplaying.com, it is finally coming to fruition. You can get involved by submitting a design that could eventually be worn by Coldplay fans all around the world.

Several design optimization suggestions that should be followed for best printing results are:

- 2000 x 2000 pixels

- 100 - 300 dpi (200 is suggested for quality and upload efficiency)

- RGB color mode

- Any white in your image will show as the color of the fabric

- Accepted file types:

PNG - Portable Network Graphics format is our recommendation for image uploads. It is a completely loss-less compression and gradients come out much smoother than JPG imges. (Max size 4MB)

JPG - JPG's support over 16 million colors, but slightly "distort" the image to compress the file size. For photos, the human eye cannot tell the subtle changes in color, but along straight edges and in pictures with large solid colors, distortion becomes very apparent. (Max size 7MB)

For more information on this project and how to submit your design in accordance with the requirements, click here [thanks lunar1126]. To add your views to the Coldplaying t-shirt discussion, click here [thanks mc_squared]
