* the crowd-funder for the print edition of The Nibhas almost doubled its initial ask with 23 days to go. As I understand it, they're leaning heavily on this model in a matter-of-fact, every-issue way as opposed to a project that represents a dream-ask for its participants or one in that there will be one huge ask and then a significant amount of time before the next one.
* both the CBLDF and Hero Initiative invest time and effort in SDCC to positive results -- you are of course reminded that need like theirs has a power that makes any donation from anyone, including yourself, extremely welcome.
* the CBLDF exercises their educational side at the Big Show as well, and I want to go on the record saying it was fun watching Charles Brownstein crush a couple of speech-makers during the questions phase of a panel.
