So, the final numbers are in, one day late thanks to that bastard Colbert. The official Uncertain Principles DonorsChoose Challenge raised $3,607 from 48 donors over the last month, good for second place among ScienceBlogs blogs, in both categories. That’s better than I realistically expected to do (last year’s challenge brought in about $1,400 in two weeks, so we more than doubled the take by going to a full month).<\/p>\n
Many thanks to all those who contributed. Your generosity is much appreciated. I still owe some of you blog posts, and I’ll get to those as soon as I can– I’m at the World Fantasy Convention this weekend, so it’ll be Sunday or Monday before I get around to new posts. If you donated and would like to claim any of the spiffy incentive offers<\/a>, send me a copy of your donation receipt, and let me hint broadly that your odds would be really good<\/strong>…<\/p>\n Official totals for ScienceBlogs in general:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 20 Sb blogs mounted challenges; 12 of them met or exceeded their fundraising goals.<\/p>\n We raised: 155 classroom projects fully funded (although this will go up a lot when we spread the $15,000 from Seed Media Group around) and many partially funded. Even more when we throw in the completion bonuses (which will be in the ballpark of $6k altogether).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Take that, “Stephen Colbert for President”…<\/p>\n Thanks for putting up with my hard-core shilling for the last month, and (mostly) taking my over-the-top posts with good humor. It’s been exhausting enough that you won’t need to worry about a repeat any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, the final numbers are in, one day late thanks to that bastard Colbert.
