So once again it has come time for my yearly “spend the money to continue having hosting.” And honestly – I’m hoping that by this time next year I won’t have to hold out the hat for your spare change but instead be so flush that the money will just be a little bit of nothing, much in the way that other people purchase a pair of skis. But, right now, in the midst of paying down my not-insignificant student loans and having to lay out cash for malpractice insurance and Law Society dues, I am relatively cash-poor.
So I request of my readership: please do click that “donate” button. It makes my life a little bit easier, and you continue to get what I would humbly submit is entertaining content with exactly zero ads, and I can keep clicking “report as spam” on all those emails from “freelancers” asking to submit posts that would, just coincidentally, have links in them to sites where you can purchase things! (Or are possibly malware sites. I’m not sure which; I never check. I just report the emails as spam.) Because I like that this site never asks you to spend money. Except when I ask you to spend money, and I do so as rarely as possible.

If you want a vision of the future, picture a man holding a battered top hat upside down… forever.
Done and done. Thanks for everything!
(In case anybody else had trouble finding the button: in the right margin, between the blogroll and the archives.)
You’ve given me enough entertainment over the year that it seems entirely reasonable to give you some money.
My non-living-wage-paying job just decided they’ve been OVERpaying me, so I’m too po’ to send you anything but a cool hat or free kittens.
Under the circumstances, I was surprised that your Donate button was difficult to find. It’s at the bottom of the fourth page when I’m scrolling down. But, done.
done – keep up the good work. I second the moving of the donate button to a place of more prominence.
