That's a Lot of Nuts 1
The NUTS for Jericho campaign is sending an astounding amount of nuts to CBS Television in New York to protest the cancellation of Jericho. 23,536 pounds of nuts are already on their way. 14 pounds from Courtney and I.
If you’d like to see more Jericho, send some nuts.
Also, as Brasten notes, the RailsConf Charities are an even better thing to give money to.
