I’VE POSTED A LOT ABOUT NANOTECHNOLOGY today (and other days). My interest is sufficient that I’m on the Board of the Foresight Institute, a foundation dedicated to seeing that the introduction of nanotechnology goes well, and not badly (no oceans of human-devouring slime, omnipotent world police states, or malevolent artificial intelligences — you know, that sort of thing). If you’re interested in helping with that, you might want to go here and donate some money — right now your donation will be matched by another donor, so it’s twice as good.

Like all nonprofits, and even moreso since it’s in Silicon Valley, Foresight has seen its donations drop as a result of the tech bubble bursting. That’s another reason why now is a good time to donate, if you’re so inclined.
