Donors Choose: we're in for some tough competition

By palmd on October 13, 2009.

Dr. Isis assures me that she will soon unveil a secret weapon to pull ahead in the Donors Choose challenge. I'm all for anything that helps kids, but c'mon---we can stay ahead. Even small donations help tons. For example, if 23 people give $10 each, we can buy a netbook for a classroom in need. There are plenty of other proposals from needy Michigan classrooms, too. Even a couple of bucks will help bring these projects closer to completion.

If you can give a buck, or twenty of them, that's great, but if you can't, you can still help by tweeting, facebooking, etc. so that more people can hear about our projects. Seed is throwing in gifts to givers chosen at random, and you will of course have the thanks of all those kids.

Please. Please don't let Isis kick my ass. All the other bloggers will make fun of me.
