Regis this is a great charity. What do you send? I think I'm going to do this.

i usually look for unanswered requests and then i'll send cd's i've burned (oh no! copyright violation!) if folks want music mixes, and i'll keep an eye peeled for cheap dvd's and used paperbacks for people who aren't specific. when i make up a box, i'll throw in non-perishable snacks like nuts and sunflower seeds, some kool-aid mix, tuna packets, things like that.

i've answered some specific requests for books (like someone who wanted to learn more about computer security) by ordering directly from amazon or powell's.

i try to send out a couple of boxes every month. i've gotten a few letters back from folks.
