The other day in a fit of insomnia I designed the “Ruby geek” symbol. It’s based on ESR’s thing (some of you may cringe). You know, the floater from Conway’s Game of Life. See [Ruby.shop : The Mathom-House](http://www.cafepress.com/mathomhouse/6101) Cheers, Hal “My parents went to a planet where the dominant lifeform had no bilateral symmetry, and all I got was this stupid F-shirt.” – seen elsewhere ---

I used to donate half to Rubycentral (which amounted to nearly nothing anyway). I suppose you could say it helps pay for my webhosting and my Rubyconf registration. Most of my Ruby projects cause people to wrinkle their foreheads and say, “Why would you want that?” So there seems little point in seeking people to support them monetarily. If that’s what you meant. Hal
