Ups to Ale for going for the Bukowski even though she’s never read him before. Ups.

Everything on this website is a present that I’ll deliver to you if you want to have it.
In part because
I have too much stuff that I don’t use,
I want to share what I’ve been reading,
I want to keep people from buying what they don’t need,
and because I want to see what stranger’s reactions will be,
what’s mine is yours.

As you browse through my stuff, you’ll see that I have an obvious emotional attachment to each item. And of course, every plastic and electronic knick-knack that I own also has a unique production history behind it. It goes from raw petroleum, rock ore, and human labor to a shopping aisle and then finally to my hands. It doesn’t come from no-where, and it’s left an impact that (when multiplied by the mass-produced millions of products just like it) will be felt generations from now. So in defiance of a high-consumption, blind-to-the-true-cost, disposable economy, I say let’s do everything we can to voice our desire for a clean, sustainable future that our grandchildren can enjoy.

Let’s buy less and share more.

Or to summarize, Look! FREE PRESENTS for everybody!!OMG!!1!
