Title: Raising some money for MOZ
Post by: blabber86 on Fri, 28 March 2014, 07:42:11

Hey guys, I know since I'm a lurker and don't post much, you might disregard my thread, but please for a moment do read what this is for. Thank you

My man MOZ, who is a great guy, always ready and happy to help is in bit of a trouble, as you can see here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50238.msg1264973#msg1264973). I found out more about ti when I wanted to get an ErgoDox case from him and contacted him.

If you don't know, he is one the makers here, always making new stuff and giving his input into other people's projects as well. All his work is opensource, so he is transparent, and he knows someone can take all his work and make profit for themselves, still he continue to do good work.

He got some acrylic cases cut for some people here on GH, and in the time he bought many sheets, which he thought he will use to get more cases cut (He had IC for this) or sell them sheets back. But he is unlucky and have death at acrylic guy's shop. He lost some money and is now selling some stuff, you can see his classified thread more active now.

I think we should help him somehow, he never make profit in the case or his other GB, he tell me he lost money in the keychain GB and just equal in sticker and this after he used his donation money he get in the two GB, since it was his first, he make miscalculations. Also he help so many people here. Let's do something so we can keep the spirit in him alive.

If you have any ideas, please post.

I did my part by purchasing a keyboard from his sale. I hope everything works out for him.

Moz has always been helpful with my random questions, but I have not participated in any of his gbs.  Have him PM me his paypal email and I will send him a donation.

Hmm, so I somehow missed this thread.

blabber86, thank you very much for the kind words and your efforts, you really didn't have to go to these lengths. Although, I'm not sure if I am comfortable with this.  :-\
