Just chipped in a few bucks myself. Ross: I've been using the internet as a source of entertainment for many many years (I started in '94, so I'm actually in year 20 now!). Been reading all sorts of webcomics, following video channels, blogs, feeds and whatnot.
I quite seriously have to say that, given all my experience, the entertainment value I drew out of FM ranks easily in the top5. This may have to do with the fact that I'm a huge fan of HL and I'm into science, but most importantly your unique sense of humour just hits the right spot for me. Now, your fundraiser made me aware of how much fun I got without ever paying back a dime for it. Which is fine as long as the business model works out. But reading about your struggle with money made me feel so sorry and somehow selfish that I never gave back anything which I could so easily do.
I really hope this money will help you sustain yourself for a longer time. You have a unique talent that is better not wasted with some random job you only do to pay your bills. You have a good critical mass of fands behind you that would rather see you make more videos and other cool stuff and are willing to help.
If you're running low again don't hesitate to let us know. I'm sure many of us spend money on lots of useless things (at least I do), giving it to you feels much more useful. All the best!
