Amazon Honor System, RIP

Got a notice from Amazon that they will be discontinuing the “Honor System” for donations and such as of tomorrow.

I’m sad about that. I thought it was a nifty little tool, and Amazon themselves did a lot of good with it, as I recall, in raising money after the tsunami of Christmas 2004. How time flies, eh?

I’ve removed it from my right-hand sidebar, and also tidied up the joint a little bit, made email easier to find, etc.
