My birthday present

04.03.2005

I turn 30 in a few days. If you'd like to get me something, here's exactly what I want: A small donation to the La Vida Robot Scholarship Fund. If you don't know what that is, read the Wired story about a group of Mexican immigrant kids from Arizona who beat college kids — including MIT — in a recent robotics competition. You can donate via PayPal, so even a single dollar is fine (in lieu of buying me a drink or whatever).

I was lucky to have the chance to go to college, too many kids from Saginaw's South Side & Bolivia's sprawling cities didn't. These four amazing kids deserve (probably more than I did) a chance to go to college.

Happy 30th in advance! (in the most libertarian way ;-))

30 is just a bump in the road. That said, I suggest you celebrate with ale and whores.

you are coming to Chicago right? I fly in super early on Sunday morning, in time for a quick nap and a some brunch before everyone heads back to MI.

Later bro.
