I don't normally link to a "donation" page, but I keep getting asked so here you go (but don't feel like you need to) - via stripe or paypay. You can also help by spreading the word, supporting our great sponsors, and if you don't want the Pixel chromebook you received at Google IO... send it my way. :) kale
