Hi, I’m Craig Collins, the Creative Director of The 100 Billionth Person website.  It is only the mildest form of pandering to say, this blog wouldn’t exist without you.  Well, maybe it would, but if you aren’t reading it, can you be sure it’s still there? Anyway, the topic here is money and my goal is $16 million — that’s right, $16 million to continue delivering, to the doorstep of your laptop, my interpretation of life on this planet, where “planet” means a 10-mile radius from wherever I happen to be.

So, if you want to continue experiencing the same pleasure you now get from sites like Wikipedia, Facebook and The Shawshank Redemption — in short, if you want life to have meaning — why not send your generous contribution today.  In the next 15 minutes.  14.
