The Humble eBook Bundle

UPDATE: 5 Web Comic Collections have been added to the Humble E-Book Bundle:

• xkcd - Randall Munroe
• Save Yourself, Mammal! - Zach Weiner
• The Most Dangerous Game - Zach Weiner
• Attack of the Bacon Robots - Jerry Holkins + Mik Krahulik (Penny Arcade)
• Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings - Jerry Holkins + Mike Krahulik (Penny Arcade)

You will get these extra 5 if you spend more than the average (which at the time of this posting is $12.65).

If "WHAA?!" just came out of your mouth, you're probably already familiar with the Humble Indie Bundle and hopefully you've kicked in some of you hard earned dough to help out indie developers and more importantly help out the great charity Child's Play. And for that, mad props to you my friends and you may simply scroll down to the video below for an opportunity to help out some more.

For those of you that are asking, "What are you talking about Joe and can you please explain it to us?" Well, the Humble (insert digital media nomenclature here) Bundle has historically been a group of game developers that put up their (DRM Free) games for sale in order to raise money for charity and perhaps get a little cash for themselves. The purchase price of the items are determined by the purchaser and the purchaser also decides how much of the money goes to the developers or the Child's Play Charity. The site has been hugely successful raising funds selling games and now it appears they have moved into E-Books. I could explain it all to you but I think this video does a better job. Dim the lights please... a little more.. yup you got it:

So yeah, buy some E-Books for a good price and help out charity. Writers get their stories out, sick kids get games to play, you look really smart and hip reading an E-book and possibly get noticed by someone you fancy and they think you're awesome for helping out sick kids and then one thing leads to another... well you get it, everybody wins. I suggest you check out www.HumbleBundle.com for more information and sign up for their E-Mail list for future bundles.

If you are sitting there asking "What's an E-Book?" go back into your cave and wait for the next ice age.

Humbly,
Joe
