Christmas Thought
William Gibson, author of the science fiction classic Neuromancer, keeps a blog when he is not writing. Yesterday he posted a note about Modest Needs, an unusual charity.
If you've ever had your bacon saved by a someone giving you a few hundred dollars when it looked like nobody else would, and not making a big deal of it, you'll understand the concept behind Modest Needs.
I visited the site and checked the financials. They list the details of every request for money whether they fund it or not. It's a sad list to read.
