A little after holiday giving




In the spirit of continuing to raise awareness for the charity we are gaming for, allow me to point out the following cd that was put out this past year for Child's Play:

The cd is a fantastic compilation of nerdom, with songs about gaming and nerd-culture in general. The highlight of the cd for me, however, as to be the cover track of Still Alive (the popular song from Portal from Valve) done by geek musician Jonathan Coulton and actress Felicia Day. For those that don't know, Jonathan Coulton is the singer and composer of many fantastic songs, including the opening theme to G4's Code Monkeys, while Felicia Day is the co-star of Joss Wedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog and her own hit webseries The Guild, which is currently avaliable for download via the XBox Live Marketplace.

The cd is only $10 and all the procedes do go to the charity.

Also, on the site link, you can also find a Child's Play charity t-shirt. It is the 2008 edition, sizes Small-XXXL avalaible for only $17.99.

I'm definitely picking up the cd, and really am contemplating the t-shirt. See, at work, we do the volunteer and charity t-shirts. I think that this would probably be a good shirt to wear and help get the word out there, especially since I work in a video game department.
