Well, the holidays are here. I’m not a big one for being into the holiday spirit, but I do like this time of year because it often reminds people how much they have to actually be thankful for compared to others. It also reminds us that we’re lucky (and hard-working) as hell to make cash doing things we love to do and that sometimes giving a bit of it away makes you feel damn good.
Below are a few of my favorite charities. I encourage everyone to pick one of these, or one of their own favorites, and make a donation. For those still struggling to earn a living online, remember that even small donations are powerful when added up. For those who are making great bank and all the companies out there filing profitable tax returns this year… well, you know what to do.
Ronald McDonald House (there is also a .ca)- I have a personal reason for this one
Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes
Operation Uplink
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
Make a Wish Foundation (and again, a .ca, a .co.uk, a .org.au and a general international foundation)
See ya after the holidays – hope everyone celebrating has a good one.

Sugarrae runs on the Thesis WordPress Theme
If you’re someone who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality that you wouldn’t be able to obtain otherwise with a simple control panel instead of having to alter code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
For those "in between", like myself, I’ve created "dummy" guides for Thesis hooks that allow us to make more professional customizations than we ever deemed possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it has allowed me to run Sugarrae more professionally, with a much more targeted focus on monetization than it ever has been able to achieve before.
