Hal, I'm going to snail a donation your way when I get home tonight. I'll PM details to you then.
I think we need to focus on more traffic. A t-shirt would be one more thing I wouldn't wear and would probably go in the charitable box at the next cleaning. Same with golf shirts or any other logoed apparel.
I'd feel bad about winning a raffle and would probably just donate everything back to the site. You want to look at that option very carefully since I expect it would affect your taxes. I know winning them has done that to me. That's reportable income, and you'd have to document it on your end too.
We always, and I mean always, need more people here. The Digg project has been great, and I hope that it continues to suceed, but you know me well enough to know how much I believe in Plan B, C, D.... If the Digg stuff dries up (or the site gets shut down because of the DVD code stuff), then how do we attract new members? I'm not saying we need a banner up on Yahoo or anything of the sort, but some well-placed ads would drive some more traffic our way, which is always good. I look at the new folks that have joined in the last 6 months and their contributions, and it makes me happy. I'd love for the next big problem to be figure out how to get through growing pains.
The only other thing that you haven't covered is taking the wife out for a nice dinner on us. I tell my assistants to do that once in a while just as a thank you/morale booster, and while our roles are most definitely reversed here, I think you should do it. But that's me, and I spend money like a drunken sailor most of the time.
