I can't believe this hasnt been getting more media attention in the states. Supposedly the flooded region is THE SIZE OF EGYPT and is swamping a city equivalent in size to chicago. That is some crazy waterworld global warming apocalypse bullshit. Good luck to you AUS friends, Ill donate as soon as I can ;(

Queensland is about 6 times the size of the UK the internet tells me, and according to the new here nearly 80% is flooded.

Incidentally, its this time of year that normally most of the country is on fire.

Cents for Energy is an energy assistance program created by THAW and DTE Energy. It provides energy assistance to individuals and families having severe difficulty paying their energy bills.

When you participate in this donation program, you can round up your energy bill payment to the nearest dollar or add up to an additional $10 donation.

All funds collected will be used to assist customers whose income is above federal poverty guidelines, but who still struggle to meet financial obligations. One hundred percent of the funds will be used to help qualified individuals and families retain utility services.

Donations are tax deductible.

If you want donations, you have to show people why you deserve them. whether it be dire need or pure talent, people need to see a reason that their money should move from their pocket to yours.

So... what are your selling points?

All seriousness aside, though, when Smiletron did a Kickstarter asking for donations because he was down on his luck and needed money to replace his equipment, he had 2 things going for him:

- A reputation for making great music and releasing it for free, even when he could have sold it (we all had his music in our iTunes by that time, and loved it)
- An offer to everyone that donated money, that each person would receive a download containing all of Smiletron's completed works so far, which was arguably worth paying for in itself

Begging is tres gauche.
