Give a kid a laptop this holiday
Friends Mark Goldberg, Jon Arnold, and Mark Evans have all written about the One Laptop Per Child initiative, and their current promotion. Basically, if you spend $399 on an OLPC for a child before the end of day November 26, they will ship you a laptop, a $200 tax receipt, AND they will send another to a child in a developing country. It's a good cause. If you can afford the $399, please consider doing it.

It’s a cool initiative, and seems to be very well researched in terms of practical considerations as well. And the XO is pretty nifty piece of kit that I could see my own godson using a bunch.
In case you Googled based on Alec’s title (and were brought back to his blog!), the site you need to go to is:
http://laptop.org/
and then the short-track to donating is in smallish text near the top, “give a laptop”.

Thanks for the link, Greg. I’ve edited the post to include it.
