FlickrWhere My Mouth Is
I did some writing tonight. And then I attacked my website. And I did exactly as I said I would.
Provided all is going well and I am not currently hallucinating, you should see, atop the right sidebar, a link to my TipiT tip jar.
If you feel like tipping me, whether for the content I produce here, for content of mine you've seen elsewhere, or just because you want to feel like a patron of the arts, I would love it if you would do so. Just click on the tip jar and they will take care of the rest.
If you do not feel like tipping me, not a big deal; you are still invited to the party. I write first because I love it and second because I hope to do it professionally; if I'm getting to write I will be satisfied.
As an added incentive for those who are wavering on the tip issue: If you tip me and give me preferred contact info (via the TipiT comment field), I will tell you exactly how I will be spending the money you give me. It's like sponsoring an African child. An African child that enjoys Irish whiskey and the occasional hockey game.
Also, if you have a TipiT account, and want to feel like a part of The Future, TipiT supports tipping via Twitter (and thus via text). Just tweet @tipit @the_real_tyler followed by a number to donate that many dollars. Yes, I am also vague on the mechanics of this; the TipiT folks are a little bad at explaining how the variables in their syntax operate, so I am not sure how they handle contacting you about paying for that donation. I suspect they use a credit card you have set up with your aforementioned TipiT account—if I am wrong, somebody do comment so I can better explain how to experience the future. I just love this idea so much (the concept of being able to tweet a tip to a street busker with a tastefully displayed sign, or a speaker while they are still speaking) that I could not help but try to get in on it. Besides, this gives you a quick way to tip me for my tweets!
And yes, I know the tip jar is a little bit of a sore thumb right now; I'll be editing the template more fully soon, I swear, but life is a tad bit hectic right now. The point is, the tip jar has arrived, and the future with it; and now I am off to go watch Supernatural. Tip in good health!

nope. I do not see a virtual tip jar.
@Kijeren: That's odd, it's showing fine for me...maybe your settings are hiding the image?
I see the tip jar.
The tip jar sees me...and my credit card.
You've been tipped.
Let us know how it works from here.
