- The new dehumidifier arrived today, and as I suspected, the power brick on the old one was broken but the old unit itself was fine. So now I have an extra dehumidifier unit lying around. Hoping to get a replacement power brick, but even then I might be too lazy to return the new dehumidifier back to amazon. On the plus side, I might not suffocate on our apartment air during these intermittently rainy days.
- If I’m single next valentine’s day, I might make it a tradition to just do taxes on v-day night. I was pretty close to finishing up in under an hour, but I’ve hit a few snags with tdameritrade. Oh well, I was about to watch A Very Long Engagement or Serendipity or something last night, which might not have been a good idea.
- During taxes, I realized I’m a little behind in my charity giving for last year. So far, it’s been EFF, Stanford, and the studio I go to. I’ve been thinking about Doctors without Borders and/or Wikipedia. Other suggestions?

Dude, Serendipity is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. EVER.
Also, I use CharityNavigator.org to find places. My favorite seems to be http://www.dil.org/. I often go for education / women’s empowerment as root-cause issues. But I’ve also donated to government & campaign finance/transparency, agriculture reform, social entrepreneurship, and other stuff, so if you want me to dig up a list for you, let me know.
I like what the Innocence Project has accomplished though I’m unclear on how efficient they are in their spending.
How can you not like Serendipity? It has Kate Beckinsale in it, a ridiculous plot, plus TWO engagements thrown under the bus.
Hmm, the Innocence Project sounds interesting. Having efficient spending is nice, but I also like charities that never call or spam me. So far, the EFF has done neither. Stanford, however, makes me want to switch phone numbers.
