A Cool Resource to Raise Money for Something Good...

... Well, presumably something good.
Anyway, it's called Fundable.com and it lets anyone who wants to submit their request for funding. This could be anything from needing money to build a homeless shelter, to just buying a tent to provide temporary cover. Of course, you can request money for less humanitarian needs: I submitted a request for $500 to build a skate ramp for some kids in China, which is not entirely selfish, though certainly not the most pressing of social issues.
So check it out, think of some positive social causes, and see if you can't get a little money behind a worthy effort of your own.

Now if the courts could only figure out where all that money went, maybe we could add a few more billion to the next round of government bailouts (ironically being given to this guy's counterparts in other ailing financial institutions).
Testing to see if this works.
