My peeps! According to the John M. Ford lj list, some kind soul is
auctioning a set of Mike Ford books with the winning bid to go to a charity of the winner's choice (provided, of course, that the winner's choice isn't something nasty like the KKK). This is awesome, and the only reason I'm telling you folks is that I have, or have access to, most if not all of the books being offered, so I'm unlikely to bid.
So if you'd like the change to delve into awesome amounts of awesome Mike Ford-ness and help out a charity of your choice, check out the link. Bid's at $50, as far as I can tell.
