About a week ago I announced an Olympic Ticket Giveaway. The time has come to announce the winners and runners-up. Although there is no way for me to verify you've done your good deed, I hope that you will follow through even if you didn't win the tickets.

There was a great response, with even better ideas:

• Pray for peace on Earth
• Organize a Couch Surfing gathering
• Give art lessons to friends and family
• Give up metro seats
• Make people smile
• Give English lessons to Japanese speakers
• Organize a fundraiser for the Join Together Society
• Sponsor a Sichuan child
• Help economically depressed municipalities start businesses
• Give technical help
• Spread happiness
• Volunteer at Chinese orphanages
• Be extra nice to the boyfriend
• Organize kids sporting events
• Donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation
• Lower carbon footprint by using mass transit more
• Do the right thing

I'd like to give a special thank you to everyone who helped spread the word about this giveaway, especially the following:

• Kirsty from NerdyNomad
• Jason from GOOD Magazine
• Christine from Almost Fearless
• Julie from Matador Pulse

And without further adieu...
