Just today I bemoaned the cost of a design conference and random people banded together to help offset the cost for me... so it seems like this is a good time to pay it forward. You should have additional funds in your Paypal account, and see you at Startup School. :)

Your comment influenced me to chip in a little to help Abraham get there. He's a great hacker and has already made an impact on the Seattle scene.

It took me a while to realize I wanted to build/run a startup - anything I can do, however little, to help somebody else get there faster is a great thing in my eyes.

Kind of funny there are responses to the downers, but no thanks to any of the people who responded and helped out. I didn't feel like asking for money was a big deal like the others, but it's also nice to see appreciation (I'm a poor startup founder too :P). Ah well, c'est la vie.
