So, uh, this Change for a Five thing...it's not going to happen by Inauguration Day. If I were coldly rational, I would probably just say that it's not going to happen, full stop, and get on with the 50 million other things I have to/want to/need to do. But I'm not ready to give up on the idea just yet. I don't want to do that thing we do, where we get all fired up for awhile and then it just peters out and we all go back to getting screwed without really thinking about it.
So, I am asking for two things: your forbearance, because it's been two and half damn months already, and what am I, going to wait until the end of Bush's second term, or what? Second, I am asking for help. I need all kinds of help, because I just can't be in charge of running another website by myself, not with the Dad crap and the Crafty Robot crap and the poor Leisure Agency getting hopelessly neglected as it is, and all the other crap that I can't even keep all the to-do lists updated on. Some of the help I could use is:
-Someone to help with graphics and design
-Someone(s) to help with suggesting places to make donations
-Someone to help as, I guess, a co-project manager, or some crap, to set goals. I am okay with deadlines but I am feeling frankly somewhat floppy and overwhelmed in the face of getting this thing rolling.
So, that's that. E-mail me if you would be able to take on some of this woohaw. Sorry, y'all, that I did not manage to get this together yet, but, you know, life. It has lots of stuff in it!
Posted by hilatron at January 18, 2005 10:33 PM | TrackBackI e-mailed you back, but I may as well post here too. I've done an initial design - it's fairly rudimentary but it looks pretty nice, I think. I'll put it up as a test on my own website when I get home tonight, and I'll e-mail the address to you and you can tell me what you think. :)

Posted by: Hilatron at January 19, 2005 10:15 AMI can help set goals and/or suggest places to make donations -- so long as everybody understands that most of the established (or should that be "establishment?") places to make donations are actually tools to keep the oppressed in place, and I will be looking for places that get us outside of that box.

Posted by: aaron at January 19, 2005 05:08 PMI just e-mailed you. I also peed on myself a little, but that's beside the point, unless the point is that it looks SO FUCKING GREAT. THAT I PEED.
Posted by: Hilatron at January 19, 2005 05:59 PMI'm still willing to help with the coding/behind-the-scenes stuff. When you get a good idea of what exactly you want it to do, let me know. :)
