No, not children that are invisible (which is a terrible condition itself), but these invisible children (http://www.invisiblechildren.com/home.php).

My friend is auctioning of his dredlocks on ebay, starting the 16th (tomorrow!). You can bid on one of 35, and if you win, you get to pick the color (or two) that it is dyed, for up to 3 weeks, depending on total amount of money raised. (more details here: http://adoptalock.blogspot.com/).

Additionally, he's getting a matching donation from adobe (yes, adobe). So any money that he raises will be doubled. That's like 2x as much money.

I think it'd be sweet to put together a bunch of money from a group of icrontians, and get one or two dreds dyed IC colors.

Let's get crack-a-lackin'!

I'll start by putting in $20.

got your sweet, sweet cash, ryder.

It'd be swell if other people would participate too :P. Remember, this is going to charity, and any donation will be matched by adobe.

Don't hesitate to donate even a small amount. I just threw $20 out there to get things rolling.

total:
$40
