Wikipedia Donation

Thank you. Imagine if every person on earth could share in the free and total access to all human knowledge. Your donation helps get us closer.
— Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia


It felt like the right thing to do. I also get a tax receipt as it's a non-profit organization.

Here's a nice video on how to beat the winter blues.
