Instead, I’m asking all of my friends and followers to help me out with a favor.

Every year I take this time to recognize a special charity that is close to my heart.  Child’s Play Charity is an organization dedicated to providing gaming equipment and toys to hospitals worldwide.  They have over 60 hospitals in their network (Vanderbilt in Nashville is one of their partners, by the way).

If you want to check out what they’re doing, the Child’s Play website has a lot of great information, and lots of game companies are jumping on board with them.

If you have some spare change then please help them out – they do good things, and they need our help!

    Seeing all the fun plugins you guys posted to the site today has reminded me of a topic that I’ve both seen published on other sites as of late and been pondering myself lately – the authors.  I’ve co-created a plugin, and it’s currently residing well in the plugin repository, but it hasn’t been all…
