Holiday Spending
OK, I need to take a break from writing about globalization. How are you spending money this holiday season? How much is going to treat yourself? How much to friends? How much to charity?
I usually spend money on myself during the year. This year, I bought some books, some films, and some music for myself. Bigger items that I bought were a TV tuner ($150) and a DS ($125) and a few DS games ($80).
Each year, I give between $25 and $75 to Penny-Arcade's
Child's Play. Any respectable gamer should give at least a little bit of money to Child's Play, I think. However, a new website on my donation list is
Feministing. This is a great blog for anyone interested in race and gender politics. Interestingly, I found out about this site through Tycho of Penny-Arcade who apparently reads (or has read) it, too.
