YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO ONLINE FUNDRAISING
All of Jake Ryan’s beer cash has been posted via registered mail to Ryan HQ in sunny Queensland. For anyone else attempting an online Beer Fund, here’s how the process works:
First, get your message out on the global Interblogwebnet.
Wait a few minutes, and ... wa-hey! Actual cash money appears on the keyboard somehow.
David Marr is impressed.
Carefully place the money in an envelope and address it to “Jake, Queensland”. It's that easy!
UPDATE. Just as well Jake has a home.
Posted by Tim Blair at July 2, 2003 03:14 AMYeah, but what's the giant knife next to your laptop for?
Posted by: Courtney at July 2, 2003 at 03:19 AMEr ... it's for ... cake! Yes, that's it. I was eating cake.
Posted by: tim at July 2, 2003 at 03:36 AMActually, your monry looks like Monopoly(TM) money. Don't tell me, you live on Baltic Avenue, right?
Posted by: David Crawford at July 2, 2003 at 04:12 AMI love the look of the Australian bills, but the coins, aka shrapnel, is too bulky and heavy.
Posted by: Polly at July 2, 2003 at 04:29 AMKinda reminds of Dutch guilders, which were a damn shame to lose to the bland euro.
Posted by: Flynn at July 2, 2003 at 04:57 AMI can't see the pretty money. I've been blinded by that shirt!

Posted by: Amanda Blow at July 2, 2003 at 07:28 AMPosting that much cash in the mail? Even I dont have that much faith in my postal system.
Of course it probably just seems alot to me cause I'm from NZ.
The money's not as pretty as that shirt, Tim what were you thinking? Or were you in Bali tourist mode? :) Love David Marr's cameo, and the use of an iBook. More multimedia blogging!
Yes the $50s look like Guilders, ahh it's time to go back to Holland...
That's not real money. That's Australian money, I think.
Posted by: steve miller at July 2, 2003 at 11:41 AMHasn't anyone noticed the true importance of this post?: Blair has actually put *photos* up on his blog.
Posted by: Tex at July 2, 2003 at 11:59 AMHey, wait -- those are Dutch Gilders! Must've had the computer set to "drugs and prostitution" mode.
Posted by: tim at July 2, 2003 at 12:17 PMPictures! :D
Hey, Tim's shirt matches the Australian money...
Posted by: Andrea Harris at July 2, 2003 at 01:38 PMNo offence Tim, but you're geekier looking than I'd imagined :)
Posted by: Stewart Kelly at July 2, 2003 at 02:53 PMThat was just an excuse to show us how many $50 bills that you have.
Posted by: dan at July 2, 2003 at 02:55 PMThe month's rent money, if you must know, Dan. I don't have 'em any more!
Posted by: tim at July 2, 2003 at 03:11 PMNot sure about the shirt, but his lipstick is a lovely shade ...
Posted by: Binkie at July 2, 2003 at 04:21 PMBuy tim a new shirt fund! http://yobbo.drivelwarehouse.com/archives/003502.html
Posted by: Evil Dan Meijer at July 2, 2003 at 04:53 PMGeez, Tim. Are you getting ready for your Hawai'ian vacation with that shirt and all that funny money?
Posted by: Venomous Kate at July 2, 2003 at 06:44 PMYou look like that guy from They Might Be Giants? More photo journalism. I love it!
Posted by: jay mike at July 2, 2003 at 10:06 PM
That's you Tim? Odd, I thought you'd look like a cross between Ed Burke and a young Thos Hobbes with a bit of Shane MacGowan thrown in. I mean that as a compliment, by the way.
Posted by: James at July 3, 2003 at 07:08 AMI hate to say it Tim, but I think you got ripped off. That doesn't look like real money there, I think someone sent you a bunch of monopoly money or something.
=)
Posted by: Robin Goodfellow at July 3, 2003 at 10:58 AMDoesn't matter if they sent him clam shells... The important thing here is that said pieces of plastic can be exchanged for beer.
Posted by: Yobbo at July 3, 2003 at 12:54 PMThere's not a damn thing wrong with that beautiful shirt. What's the matter with you people? Have you no STYLE?!?!
Posted by: Scott Chaffin at July 3, 2003 at 01:22 PMOh my god. How dare you criticise Mike Moore for the way he looks. You are... hmmm... maybe i shouldn't stoop to your level.
let's just say you wouldn't look out of place at a star trek convention.
Star Trek=a watery elixer (think Near Beer) in which American lefties (and lefties around the world one supposes) drown their sorrows.
