Check out Todd and Fabian's Jumping Photos website @ jumpingphotos.com!

Jumping Photos collects jumping photos taken for jumping's sake... their philosophy: “Our philosophy is simple. Jumping photos are taken for jumping’s sake. Without a camera there to capture the pinnacle of a jump and all the glory with which it exists, the jump shall remain unworshipped, and lost in time, forever.”

Another fabulous jumping blog!

Jump Shoutout: 350.org!

Check out their mission:

"350.org is an international campaign that's building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis—the solutions that science and justice demand. Our mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis—to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet.

Our focus is on the number 350—as in parts per million CO2. If we can't get below that, scientists say, the damage we're already seeing from global warming will continue and accelerate.  But 350 is more than a number—it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet...

Our theory of change is simple: if an international grassroots movement holds our leaders accountable to the latest climate science, we can start the global transformation we so desperately need." -From 350.org

Aside from working to raise awareness and change people's environmental practices, 350 is also into jumping...

Here is their Flickr page, featuring their supporters jumping for a cause, for 350, from around the world: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=25654955@N03&q=jumping&m=text

Check out their cause, and their amazing jumping pics! Feel inspired? Send your jumps to jumpbecause@gmail.com!

Jump Because wants to give a shout-out to Chris and his 88 in 888 blog.

In his own words... "I have decided to create an "88 in 888" list, which isn't the usual structure for this type of thing.  The reason I chose this is simply because I wanted to choose a significant day to set as the deadline.  The day...my 30th birthday!  Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnnn!!!!  Anyway, "88 in 888" is much less depressing than "Things to do before I'm 30."  Anyway, if you couldn't figure it out, this list is comprised of 88 things I want to do in the next 888 days (starting 9/14/2010)."
