Hey guys

Listen, I uhh monetized the blog. I'm sure we'll never get any money but if we do, it's all going to www.heifer.org, my favorite charity.

The idea behind the charity is that you buy poor developing world communities livestock, which they then get trained to raise, and then use that livestock for their renewable resources (ie milk, fertilizer, wool, feathers) and then sell whatever excess they have locally to other underdeveloped communities. So rather than a handout which is basically palliative care, this charity tries to give poor people the ability to grow their own communities naturally.

Actually John, Robyn told me about way back in college (man those were the days) and I did a little research, it apparently gives around 70% of its donations to the cause, and only 30% go to overhead, which is a pretty good ratio.

So to try to drive up a little traffic to this site, I'll resume my insane rants about the news in september, tell your parents to read the blog and click the links.

How is everyone doing these days?
