Gone Gold!

| 0 Comments

In software manufacturing, "going gold" is the stage in which the program is placed on a gold master and is ready to go into production. In this case, it means that movabletypo.net and mikehuang.com are now Gold Sponsors in Child's Play.
Didn't I just get laid off from my job? Yes, I did. I haven't found a new job yet, but I cannot afford to not donate to a worthwhile cause such as Child's Play. I'd like to see them break half a million this year -- I know our contribution will help them head towards that goal. I'm also hoping that our donation will encourage others, that regardless of their financial situation they can do good things this holiday season. I know some of you think that games and toys are expensive, but there are items on these wishlists that fit any budget. Take a look at the Wishlists for Child's Play (San Diego Children's Hospital). $100 can buy a Gamecube, $50 can buy a game or a couple of dvds, $20 can buy a DVD, toys or a good quality discount game. $10 can buy some great toys and children's books. These little things can make a big difference in the children's happiness and well-being while they stay at the hospital.
