The 2009 fundraiser is still languishing at $20 from it’s goal. That’s 10 people donating $2 each. That’s less than a latte at Starbucks, and that latte will only last you an hour at best, while Roberty goodness is all year ’round.

As I outlined in my blog entry, here are some criteria I use when deciding if a website is worth a few bucks a year to me:

Do you visit the site regularly (ie, daily, weekly, hourly)
Does the website offer unique content?
Do you enjoy visiting this website regularly?
Does the website update regularly?
Does the website offer information that is helpful/interesting to you?
Is the website owner/webmaster available and responsive to questions/problems?
Is the website a place you would go for reliable information about the subject?

If the answer to any or all of these is yes, then I throw a few bucks in the tip jar. You don’t HAVE to tip the barrista but it sure makes their day…

To see the current donor list, look here. Whether it be $2 or $100, all donations are well appreciated.
