Went away for dinner and to watch a movie and come back to find I have more than enough....thanks!!!
...wait, holy crap, it appears that someone actually bought me the laptop from my amazon wish list. I won't know that for sure until someone emails me and confirms it or it shows up at my door, but it puts me in a really weird situation. I was asking for money for the laptop, not the usual request to fatten up the Atrios liquor budget, but now I have a laptop and way more money than I need.
I never expected people to be so generous with their cash, and I definitely never expected any one individual to be that generous, but as I said it puts me in a weird position.
Anyway, to be ethical I really think I need to either return peoples' money, if they wish, or forward it on to some charity/political campaign/party, or whatever...
so, if anyone is having buyers' remorse, please
email me by clicking this link here to make sure I see it and let me know what you want. I'm happy to comply with your wishes if I can. Otherwise, I'll probably donate some of the money myself to some causes, and use some of it to buy a few things like a TIVO and a video capture card, and eventually use it to defray future costs of setting up my own site with Movable Type. But, in the end, I can't promise it'll all be spent on blog-related things......
