Good news, guys. I arbitrarily set the campaign goal at $350 and you guys have donated over $1,000, which is awesome and incredible.

My mission statement claims that I'll write and publish at least 400 words about anything for whoever donates at least $50. I'm going to go ahead and extend that offer to anyone who donated any amount of money.

If expressing your generosity and making an impact is all you ever wanted out of your donation, don't feel obligated to request anything-- it's not like I don't have other stuff to do. But it was never an empty offer, and I think I would have a lot of fun doing it. So honestly, something funny, something sincere--there are a list of potential options in the mission statement.

Just email me at jonathan.auping@gmail.com. Or just leave a comment in the comment thread of the campaign. I'll find it. If you don't want your name to be included in the published version of your request just say so and I'll leave it anonymous.

Thanks so much for making me feel so good on my birthday.

Happy belated birthday

When is your birthday?
