Don't Back Down

Today's quote is courtesy of none other than Jake Delhomme, quarterback for the Carolina Panthers. While not surprising that he references his religion - many players pause to pray after games, providing at least a glimpse of their beliefs - it is unusual that he so openly mentions it in a mainstream newspaper. You may see it during an interview from time to time, but this may be the first time I've noticed it in print.

There's only one person that was perfect and everybody knows what they did to him.

Bravo, Jake.

I'm realistic. I know that asking for money isn't likely to bring much in the way of results, especially when I'm not really delivering anything directly (like a particular feature). I know that whether I can answer your OS X questions or not isn't really a big deal to you in the scheme of things. But I figured I'd try.

If the folks at Spread Firefox can gather nearly 5500 donations (at last count), at a minimum of $10 each, I figured what the heck. If each of those 5500 people - or even 5500 different people - donated $0.50 to my campaign, I'd be over the top. Something completely unexpected.

If they each donated only $0.10, I'd be able to get a middling Mac, which is really all I'd like to do. 10 cents each - holy cow! That's nothing. That's a cup of ice at some restaurants. How many of you Mac users out there drop 3 or 4 dollars on a coffee drink at least once a day? Now imagine donating just one cup each to this campaign. I'd be there in no time!
