Suggestions for Oct. 23, 2008

Here are some revenue-generating holidays and events for Oct. 23rd:

• Cambodia: Peace Treaty Day
• Hungary: Republic Day
• Anniversary of the iPod
• National Mole Day (the number, not the animal)
• Michael Crichton's Birthday
• "Weird Al" Yankovic's Birthday

On these important days for Cambodia and Hungary, it might be a good opportunity to think about revolutions and the value of the republic. Yes, it's a stretch, but perhaps an international geography guide of basic historical dates and statistics might appeal to a community that is multicultural, especially near big metropolitan areas. A sponsorship for such a tab would be ideal for places like community centers, adult education centers, non-profit organizations, cultural centers and any other businesses that are relevant to a multi-cultural community. 

The iPod is one of the most influential gadgets of the 21st Century. People from many demographics, from small children, to adults, and especially high school and college students own iPods. A special "Happy Birthday, iPod" page might be perfect for advertisements on iPods and the many accessories that go with them.
