May charity: hip-hip, hooray, Electron Boy!

ha! i'm coming in under the wire, but i'm getting my may charity post up!

when i mentioned this project to a friend at work recently, he asked if he could make any requests for organizations i would donate to over the year, and his first pick was the make-a-wish foundation.

a few weeks later, i (along with most of the internet) read this story from make-a-wish's seattle chapter. in case you haven't heard about how electron boy saved seattle, do yourself a favor and read that article immediately. i guarantee you it will be the best thing you read today.

i can't think of a more fitting charity for this month, and i can't think of many things that would make me happier than being able to help them continue granting wishes like that one. if you'd like to donate to make-a-wish too, you can do so directly at their homepage here.
