Painless charitable giving

It’s super easy to get Amazon to donate money to your favorite non-profit. Go to Amazon Smile (smile.amazon.com) and designate your choice of charity. From now on as you shop on Amazon, they will automatically donate a small percent of your purchase amount, at no extra cost to you. In just the last quarter alone, we (Amazon and I) gave $295 to the Long Now Foundation, my chosen charity. The money came from Amazon’s side of the account not mine. — KK
