I know times are tough. Money is tight. I eat macaroni product three meals a day, and shave with the same razor until my face and head bleed.

Wikipedia is currently running a fund-raiser. I won't, for once, wax philosophical about it, but in my opinion, and I don't think that it is too difficult to agree, but I think that the idea of Wikipedia, "the free and open sharing of knowledge", is important, and I think that they have done a very good job of converging on this abstraction in reality. There is more to be done, good criticism, and there will always be vandals, but again, in my opinion, this is something very important and good that has been, and is going fast in the right direction.

Anyway, if you feel similarly please consider making a $20 donation.
