What I'm doing right now

10:50 p.m., San Francisco time: Photographing a $5 bill that a reader sent for a Gannett Blog subscription. I ask readers to consider supporting my blog with a voluntary subscription of $5 per quarter. You may pay online, using the "Donate" tool in the green sidebar, upper right. Or you can snail-mail checks (payable to me) or cash via Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St., #823, San Francisco, Calif. 94114-2594.

    I just made the plunge after thinking about it for months. This week is the week to give Jim some support. And it'll make you feel good too.
    --Laid off Tuesday.

    Ditto here. Also laid off Tuesday and knew I would be. Also contributed to Jim before I was informed. He's got a great forum here. Help him -- and us -- keep up the good work!!

    why not add google ads to this and get some clicks/pay that way? Google ads are tailored to keywords on this site. You could ad text ads at the top of the page and that would get a fair amount of money for you each month. I have a blog (a toy blog) and the google ads make quite a nice profit each month now.

    Just a suggestion from a former Gannetteer photog.

    Jim, I may mail you ANOTHER $5 to get you to your quarterly goal. I can't believe the hypocrisy of some of my fellow journalists, who complain that no one puts a value on content -- then use your site again and again and again as a resource ... for "free!" Arggh! Please $upport the man, print and broadcast hacks :)

    We do seem to eat our own young, don't we?
