For anyone contemplating making (or changing) an avatar, there's a feature on here that I discovered by accident.  In case you don't know about it, here it is.  Click on "view the supporter yearbook" at the top right of this page.  Then click on the bar for "avatars."  There you can see a display of every avatar that is in use.  It's a beautiful sight.  Also, you can see how many others may already be using the one you are thinking of choosing because it is so uniquely "you," so you can maybe choose something else. :)

Someday, I'd love to see a contest of the original avatars.

Okay, how will you know we have completed our tasks and are eligible for the badge?  Self-reporting?  If so, I'm in.  8)

Hi, everyone.  I live in the northeast U.S. and I'm wrapping up a career as a public interest lawyer, writing, speaking, and doing related activities.  Even though I'm not a programmer, I can't live without the community of this site.  Except for this site :D, I spend entirely too much time at the computer.

I have a dear family that includes a computer whizz and a teacher.  Plus a part-time dog that I share with an ex-spouse -- kind of a Thai ridgeback (the dog, not the spouse ;)).

There is another way to do this.

I belong to an internet group that made a commitment to contribute to Medecins sans frontieres http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/.  The members make individual donations directly to doctors without borders and then report their contributions to the forum.  So far, they have raised over $200,000.  No money gets sent to the forum site.  Instead, people make direct contributions (getting their own charitable contribution tax deductions, if applicable) and then send an email to the administrator of the forum, so the amount they gave can be added to the total raised by the members.  It gets reported publicly as something like "____________ raised $_____ for ______________ this year."

A prize is given each month to a participant (chosen randomly).

I, too, would contribute to some animal-type charity on Cody's behalf.  While there are many, one possibility that Cody might like is this one, because it focuses on the international needs of migratory birds:  http://www.nature.org/initiatives/programs/birds/about/

If we set up a fund with a goal, then mouser could send it along from us once the goal is reached -- or we could just send whatever has been raised by a certain date.  Cody to the rescue.
