We interrupt this weblog for a commercial…
As you may notice, I have little buttons over in the margin which you can click on and make a financial contribution to this website. You can go to Amazon.Com via our link and we then receive a small percentage of whatever you spend over there. Or you can just donate cash to us via PayPal. Since I first set this up, a lot of you have shown your generosity and sent some very nice amounts my way.
Not one cent of this money, I assure you, has gone for anything serious. I use it to pay for toys and books and silly stuff I purchase on eBay. And I spend a chunk of it making donations to other websites that I visit. I am a big believer in the philosophy that you get a better Internet with more enjoyable content if you tip well.
That was the wind-up. Here comes the pitch…
I am about to make a large purchase not on eBay but on a similar service. For reasons too complex to explain, I would like to finance as much of it as possible through donations to this site…so I'm asking for money. A lot of websites have been doing this lately, saying that the proprietor may not be able to continue supplying free content if the site doesn't bring in some cash. I'm not saying that. I'll keep doing this, either way. I just want to see if all the hours I spend doing this can get me a piece of high-tech hardware I want to purchase.
So please donate via PayPal. Or at least click on our Amazon link and go there and make a big purchase. Thanks!
