Match It for Pratchett

March 16, 2008 in Life, the Universe, and Everything | 1 comment

Award-winning author Pat Cadigan has started the “Match It for Pratchett” campaign, honoring Terry Pratchett. Pratchett, the author of the popular Discworld novels, recently announced that he has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. He has donated £500,000 (roughly $1 million) to Alzheimer’s research, and the campaign to match his donation is underway.

Please visit the campaign’s Guide to Giving and donate today.

    Hey, Mr. Thinking Meat.

    I saw this interactive Iraqi Refugee map at the ultra-liberal Wall Street Journal earlier and thought you might find it interesting. I wonder how the wingnuts would spin this as ‘success’? It could be difficult because it contains data, which always trips them up.
