Chicks Dig Nerds, Right?

The trouble with hurricanes…

…is that they tend to leave people in unfortunate situations. Especially in the case of Ike, simply because the affected area is hit with this kind of weather so infrequently. These unfortunate situations are not entirely outside of our ability to respond to, though. Many of us are capable of lending a helping hand and helping people to get themselves back into the swing of life and on their way past a rough stretch. With that in mind, I’ve set up a donation button (I’ll add it into the page itself, but for now it’ll live in this post) in hopes of being able to make a helpful contribution. In exchange for your donation, Xero Reynolds has put together a custom wallpaper from his upcoming webcomic. Donators will receive their wallpapers via e-mail. The way this will work is while donations are being collected, myself and a few others will be finding organizations with better-than-FEMA track records with this kind of situation. This will probably be a short run; I’d like to send the donations off by the end of October. Donate what you can, even if it’s only a few dollars. Every little bit helps.
