Now, I won't get into the reasons for why I haven't been updating. I think I read somewhere that people hate those posts. You know, the ones that go all like:
I've just been to busy. Everyone hates me. My dog died. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
So I won't do that. But what I will say, is this. I've been thinking about this blog since I've stopped updating. trying to think of possible new directions to go with it, and ways to just make it something that is worth my time and your time. Anyways, enough chit chat. Let's just get on with the content, shall we?
If you logged on to this website this past Monday, you might have noticed something has changed. I recently opened a PayPal donation account where you can donate to the very-worthy cause of me buying an iPhone.
I know what you may be thinking. And no, I don't NEED an iPhone. But I would surely like one. So a friend of mine suggested I set this up. I didn't expect any donations... I didnt even expect any traffic to be generated by this rather shameless "charity". Little did I know, that would not be the case.
So now, only two days later, I have raised over $50 towards my buying an iPhone. This is great. I mean, I really really appreciate that so many people were actually willing to support this. Thank you to everyone who donated.
But that's also my problem. There are so many other great causes that deserve your money way more than I do. I'm not saying don't donate! Because I'd love an iPhone, I'm just saying maybe check out something worth while as well.
Like this fine fellow, trying to raise money for global solutions for poverty and the like by BIKING ACROSS EUROPE. I mean this guy is doing something pretty incredible, that is deserving of your support.
So yeah, Me having an iPhone would be amazing, and it would be awesome if you helped me get one. But think about where else your finances may be appreciated before doing so.
On the other hand, I am offering cupcakes** for every donation. No matter how big or small. Is that an incentive or what? ^_^
**Cupcakes only valid for citizens of Vancouver proper. Residents outside of vancouver may receive a picture of a cupcake upon special request. Contact the writer for more information.

It's way awesome that people are donating money to you for your iphone, but you're even more awesome for pointing out to your readers that there are "better" causes out there.
