shared giving

Buy Generously:

So Belle and I are donating the humble proceeds from our Amazon Associates Account for the quarter. So far that comes to almost exactly $100. A nice round number to pony up for starters. Given that I have resolved to donate x, where x = my commisions, you might consider buying some Amazon products through my Associates account. Hint, hint.

Prof. Holbo’s idea is worth following: my associates account is empty (at least it was last I checked), but I can extend the same offer for the next quarter. Anything that gets credited to my associated account until March 31, 2005, will go to Southeast Asian tsunami relief (the Red Cross/Red Crescent). I just made the text red so you can see it better. And don’t feel compelled or even obligated to consider the displayed products: once you get to Amazon.com from here, everything Amazon shares with me goes to the relief effort.

Surely there’s something you didn’t get this holiday season that you want?

Tim Bray points out you can give directly through Amazon: do that if it moves you.
