No, I can’t afford to go to New Orleans for Siggraph this year; I can usually only swing that when it’s in Southern California.
I do, however, want to get to Atlanta for a few days so I can attend the RedState gathering on August 1st, and if I’m going to do that I’m going to have to make airline reservations soon.
And I have a birthday in a little over a week, so after you’ve given money to Moe Lane for the same mini-convention in Atlanta—and before you fritter it away on Stacy McCain‘s fireworks extravaganza—send it to me.
I’m pretty good at living on cadged food, stolen appetizers, and protein bars when I travel, but I do need to get there, and it looks like I’ll have to spend at least one night at the hotel. So support New Media by sending money to me, me, me! After all: how much did you spend on newspapers, back before the Blogging Revolution? I need your Wall Street Journal/Los Angeles Times/New York Times dough.
That birthday’s July 9th, and the convention is August 1st. And . . . whaddya know? It’s a PayPal button!

Button fail — when it gets to the PayPal site, it says “Error detected: We were unable to decrypt the certificate id.” It seems to be on your end (I just clicked a PayPal donate button on another site to check; worked fine).
Here in a moment, I’ll see if the one on your sidebar works.
The one on the Sidebar works!
(In line with Day-By-Day comic–or is that graphic mini-novel?).
Re: the dysfunctional PayPal button, some of my best people are working on it. In the meantime, all I have to offer is a really bad impression of Charleton Heston muttering, “darn the luck!”
They just sent me some kind of a customer-satisfaction survey. I told them to keep their dirty ape hands off of me.
