A video in which I talk about the difficulty of imagining the radically other with complexity (a theme that my poor, long-suffering readers have been force-fed for years now) and make a ridiculous commitment to eat a lot of Peeps.

You can donate here. A word of caution as always: Shawn is not a charity. The nerdfighter community pools money, and then we vote on how we want to spend that money, and then Shawn does the things we want him to do. (He keeps open books, and makes videos about each project, so we're able to follow every dollar.) For instance, right now he is in Southern Bangladesh getting a pond sand filter built in a village that hasn't had safe water in recent memory. The PSF, if properly maintained, will ensure safe water for three years. Next, he'll be rebuilding a school that was destroyed in a cyclone. To watch his progress, check out his blog or follow him on twitter.
