It's time for our second annual Buck-a-Hit Day. This year it will be held on Wednesday, December 15.

The drill will be similar to the one we ran last year: For every visit to this site between midnight and 11:59 p.m. PST that day, my family and I will donate $1 to charity. This year, we'll up the ante a little from last year, and donate up to an aggregate total of $1,250. Of each dollar donated, we'll give 40 cents to the Oregon Food Bank, 40 cents to the St. Philip Neri Parish Food Pantry, and 20 cents to Daybreak Shelter, a shelter for homeless families. And so the first 1,250 visits that day will help feed hungry people and shelter kids in Portland and Oregon.

Visits will be counted by Site Meter. If Site Meter goes down, we'll use the site statistics that my ISP provides. Obvious multiple hits by the same person within an hour of each other will be subtracted from the total.

So be sure to come on by again on Wednesday the 15th. And tell your friends. As I predicted in introducing this event last time, egomania and charitable impulses will unite like never before.
