So, no donation/subscription buttons. I’m not sure if there’d be a way to add either of those elements to the mobile, but I suspect I’m not the only one who does more reading on the mobile version of the site than on the full version. Just a thought.

Is it by pageviews?

Though it always tickles me to see Jerry Falwell’s zombie child advertising at FTB.

I would have thought by now that there must be ad agencies somewhere that understand how to cater to a geeky kind of demographic, at least. I would click the hell out of American Science and Surplus ads, and teefury ads, and thinkgeek ads, etc.

I’m sure they do. That’s not what this post asks for. It asks for donations.
