Join the Nerdolution

WOW! In just a few short weeks, Zac Levi and the Nerd HQ campaign has raised over $212k with nearly 10 thousand contributors!

This alone is a testament that we nerds are not walking this earth alone.

If you missed what #IWantMyNerdHQ is all about, you can view my last post here

Technology has come so far and in a reasonably short amount of time, flash back 10 years and there would be no way on this earth I would have been interested in something like this. Not because I don't love Zac and what NerdHQ is all about but from feeling disappointed that I was on one side of the world while this event is on the other.

Guess what? That doesn't matter!!

I will be attending panels that fans from anywhere in the world can log on and watch online.

So who wants to join me? I know most of my readers are based within Australia but this is an opportunity for anyone to be a part of making this event happen.

How do you do this you ask??

We have 27 days left to contribute, anything as little as $5 can help.

His team have started adding some really cool incentives to spice things up a little, the current one is for "contribute a minimum of $5 from now until Sunday at 11:59pm PDT, you could receive a thank you call from Zac Levi himself!".... Did I contribute again to win this, you KNOW I Did!! 

Give now at IWantMyNerdHQ.com

Last Sunday, Zac answered questions and talked about the campaign on Ustream.

You can watch below.
I promise you, watch 10 minutes of this and you will find it hard to keep your wallet in your handbag and NOT give him some financial help.

And cause I know you're gonna want more as soon as you're done, this was a Google Hangout with Zac from this week also.

Well, What are you still doing here?? GO...NOW.... #NerdsUnite

You asked, I answer

I keep being asked “Who is this Tizthetime, Keith Tisdell guy you keep talking about?”

So I am here to answer that for you.

Keith Tisdell is an actor/producer I came to know through watching Criminal Minds and then Shemar Moore’s Bounce Back project in 2013.

Whilst Keith has a vast acting career, He portrayed Rodney in two Criminal Minds episodes, “Profiler Profiled” and “Restoration” and this is where I came to know him.
His character portrayed deep emotions, anger and violence but there is a scene in Restoration that when he confronts Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) your heart breaks along with his.

See a short clip here - http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QG4eBuH_H-U 

Now to answer the question of WHY am I supporting him?

Well, I may not have physically met the man (BUT I WILL) I have gotten to know him via twitter, facebook and email recently, helping promote him on his Indiegogo campaign. ***I will put it out there now, this is not a paid post and I am getting nothing in return for my ramblings*** he is just one of the most down to earth, kind hearted guys that LA has living in it & I am grateful to have been able to be an active part of his first campaign. To put it simply, he is just like you or me, someone daring to dream.

He overcame a gang life to make something of himself and I think that alone should be applauded.
On top of all of that, Keith is a father to 4 great kids and what an incredible role model for them.

His Indiegogo crowd funding campaign, part 2 has started today.
Check it out here - http://igg.me/at/thetime2/x/3612949

The blog that I have been writing on for the campaign - tizthetimeblog.blogspot.com

So why should YOU give him money, I mean he is a stranger after all…

He has a story to tell and to be honest, I WANT TO HEAR IT!
I have dreams and If any of those involved people helping me monetarily, I would like to beliebe there are enough kind hearted people in this world who would help, it’s just all about REACHING them.

If just 14500 people from all over the world gave $10, it would bring a dream to life.

The best part?  You don’t just have to have to hand over cash and get nothing in return, there are a huge range of perks you can chose from so that you can have a momento to mark your contribution.
Ranging from a Twitter/FB Thank you, a Signed photo, An Advanced screening of the documentary, to being able to be a NAMED Executive Producer of the documentary... see the full list at igg.me/at/thetime2/x/3612949

 
So I hope that answers the questions my dear friends and family have had so pretty pretty please consider helping a complete stranger reach his dreams, who knows you might love being able to be a part of something like I have. If you can’t financially help, consider sharing this post or Keith’s link for me, help me stretch the reach and prove that social media CAN make a difference… all I need is 14500 people remember… let’s go VIRAL!

Little old me

Well I thought it was time to introduce myself!

I am Jess, I am 27 years old
I am a born and bred Tasmanian (Australia's BEST state)
I am the Wife of my absolute favourite person in this world
I am the mother to two amazing children, Lily 9 and Ira 21 months.
I work full time for an employer and 24/7 at home.

My life hasn't been perfect but the ups and downs from a young age have formed me to be who I am and for that I am grateful.

I have always had a passion for media, I think that it became part of me at the age of 10 when with the help of our local radio network and my parents, I started a petition to get Hanson (www.hanson.net) to come to my home state. I collected 4196 signatures and through the process got to go in to our local radio and guest DJ. It made the local newspaper (www.examiner.com.au/story/640120/calling-hanson) which sparked the interest of a national news show Today Tonight. From there, they contacted me to arrange for me to meet them if they ever came to Australia. Two years later, like any normal teenage girl, I was over them & had moved on to something or someone else.... Then we got the call, they were coming and Today Tonight wanted to FLY me to meet them and run a story on them, It truly was a dream come true to be on national tv and meet these boys I had adored for years.

Then came my quest towards my media career.

I did work experience in Radio, Newspapers and ended up attending Launceston College with our very own radio station!! I was on track to getting in to University to study Journalism.

Then, at 17, I found out I was pregnant. I was petrified yet excited and with that, came the change in my focus, I parked my plans of working in media and focussed on the most important job in the world, to be a mum!

I have always loved TV, Movies, Books and Music, I get very passionate and emotionally attached to the characters and form bonds with them.

I am known in my family for the saying "the books are always better than the movies" and in my time have only ever had one live up to my expectations... (And if you're reading this E.L James, please don't let them murder 50 shades in the transition to a screenplay!!)

I have always loved social media, to be brutally honest, my husband and I flirted via MySpace before we became a couple!! I moved with the times and got myself a Facebook and most recently I had my eyes opened to the world of Twitter (@mrsjrad).

It was from there I had the most amazing time with a group of women & the ever so talented @ShemarMoore during his Indiegogo campaign "The Bounce Back".

I made a number of forever friends and one of which inspired me to take some "Me" time and get back in to what I love, Media and Social Media.

Thus, my blog is born!! 

As of today I am proudly supporting another campaign on indiegogo by Keith Tisdell (see previous post) and have been invited to be a part of the ENMNetwork which I am thrilled (and a little nervous) about!!

So for anyone out there reading this, thank you!! There will be more of me to come and I hope you continue to be a part of it!

For now I'm signing off, the baby is awake (it's 11pm grrr) so time for a cuddle and bed for this lady!

Much love,

MrsJRad aka Jess
