Tip Jar:

Uh-oh -- I just noticed that it seems like we've gotten a bunch of tips over the last few years in the Amazon tip jar (which I'd largely forgotten about), and I completely missed them.

This means I never properly thanked the tippers, and looking back over my account I can't even figure out whom the tips came from. Is that even supposed to be possible with Amazon? I assume so, but I'm not sure. If anyone can enlighten me about how I can identify and properly thank people, I'd very much appreciate it. In the meantime, if you gave a tip, many thanks, and I hope to be able to figure out how to thank you more personally.

Hey, thanks for the beer money! Not that I wasn't drinking it without this or anything.

Just Saying:
Orin-- No problem. I somehow couldn't shake the thought that, for some reason, I owed you a beer. I acted accordingly.

A "Tip Jar"? And you didn't get a form 1099?

Tsk. Wait till the Democrats find out about that! ;-)

It is foolhardy to sue a blog in the first place given their 92% success rate in cases. But someone would have to be certifiable to sue this blog in particular. Besides they don't ever seem to go for the cheap shot, sigh.

I'm with Kazinski. Suing the VC would be worthy of a Darwin Award.

@ vap:
I think that this ship has sailed anyway since tipjars OR ads can have an impact on your insurance cover, right?

I don't know about your computer, but whenever I accidentally access the VC during office hours *coughcough*, it shows me an ad of aircanada. But that's ok with me. It is not like these ads are having any impact on me just because they are displayed on the VC website...

... must. buy. ticket. to. Canada...

Sorry if this would sound a bit like self-advertising, but we guys built a means for musicians, artists, bloggers and writers to gather voluntary payments, aka support, from their fans.

What is interesting is that you are struggling to find out who tipped you, right? That is the kind of things Karmafan does well. In fact, if an artist uses the Karmafan widget, fans who have supported the artist get listed on the widget. Inspiring more fans to come forward and 'give something back.'

How cool is that? ;-)
