Auction for America, eBay's contribution to the Sept. 11 relief effort, has a rather profound goal: to raise $100 million in 100 days. Sellers donate goods for auction, and the proceeds go to legit organizations. The profound part is that both eBay and the major credit card companies are waiving their usual transaction fees. Martha Stewart bid on a set of oriental cups this morning on her show. Some gems currently on the block: a 1989 Madonna watch, 'We Are The World' on vinyl, and Harry Potter Troll Nose Glue.

About
Moira Burke

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
