Thanks for helping bring in some donations 2006

Well, I got distracted by microcredit (and, alas, never did achieve the level of charitable donations in 2006 I'd hoped to get to), but thanks to six kind folks who responded to my Dropcash effort (formerly in the sidebar), I am sending $155 to Heifer for their Women in Livestock Development effort.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
