Wikipedia

I love wikipedia. I love the philosophy of free and easily accessible information. I love the collaborative nature of the website. I love that I can find a plethora of information on just about anything.

I love this quote from their founder:

"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge."
— Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia

How cool is that.

The problem is ... there's no such thing as a free lunch. Computers and bandwidth and developers all cost money. Someone has to cough up the dough so that we all can benefit.

If you feel similarly about how totally amazing wikipedia is and are in a position to do so .... click below and donate a little money for their annual fundraiser.
