Joy(sticks) to the World

For the past three years, the creators of Penny Arcade, one of my favorite webcomics, organize a charity event called Child's Play, which provides an easy way for gamers and non-gamers alike to donate videogames and other forms of entertainment to hospitals with sick children. This year, they've provided a handy map which lets you pick the hospital you'd like to donate to, then a quick jump to Amazon.com where you can see your chosen location's wish list. Just pop the item into your shopping cart then checkout and you've brought a little joy to some kids who need it.

Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, Penny Arcade's writer and artist, respectively, don't take money out for administrative fees and have raised over two million dollars over the past few years for this charity. They're at $760,000+ this year right now, so if this is something you feel like getting behind, click the following link and donate away: Child's Play 2006 (http://www.childsplaycharity.org).
