Seems obvious to me that there will be no problem reaching the $100 goal. Why cant we just extend the list & not have a ‘ceiling’ and just send all donations over the $100 goal for the light sphere to TK and let her buy what she needs to help her help us……
Edit…… I just saw the original post has been edited and it seems it would be easiest just to send Tk anything over the $100. I am sure she knows best what she needs most and has some sort of ‘game plan’ on what order she needs it. That way she can just order what she needs when she needs it.
I think if this thread is kept open and there is no limit set ……… it will allow any new members(or others just finding the link) to show their appreciation and it will provide TK the supplies she needs for continuing her invaluable ‘research & development’ .
I say we divert $15 to Tom E
Not for him but to cover the costs of a Q8 Narsil prototype driver and shipping to Toykeeper.
She asks for a AT85 based light and we know she has at least 1 srk that accepts it
I’ll happily throw in $5. The minimum because I am not in good financial straits right now, but I really want to say thank you in a small way for all TK’s contributions.
$15 from me for TK’s test-lights/hardware, for Toykeeper, for Tom’s costs, for development progress in general on BLF (I really like what has been done over the few years I’ve been here).
No no no no no… Seriously, don’t send me money. It’s an abstract concept to me and doesn’t convert easily into concrete things of value. I wouldn’t know what to do with it. The things I really need either cost way too much, like enough cash to never work again, or are priceless, like time and motivation.
Maybe I’m weird, but when someone gives me an Amazon gift card or something, it tends to go on a pile of things-to-do until I find it expired years later. But if someone gives me a hand-written letter, I cherish it and read it over and over. I care less about your donation and more about your participation.
If you really want to help: make something cool, build a few, and send one to me to write the code for. Do the parts you’re good at so I can do the parts I’m good at, and we’ll make something together. Or even better, make something cool and share it with everyone.
