It’s a long-standing tradition to toss a little money to those who have entertained you in your travels, but instead of a streetcorner to call my own, I have this corner of the information superhighway. Please toss a dollar into my virtual hat.
Please remember that Paypal takes 30 cents per transaction as a basic fee, plus 2.9%. So on a $1.00 donation, I receive 67 cents after 33 cents in fees. On a $10 donation, I get $9.41 after 59 cents in fees.
On any donation under 30 cents, Paypal takes the entire thing and gives me zero. If your intent is to give money to Paypal, you could just go there directly for that…
The way I receive the most is if you have an actual Paypal account, don’t use the links below, and instead use the “personal payment” option at paypal.com (which removes the fee-gouge) to “send money” to “ctan.writer @ gmail.com”. However, if you want to use a credit card, I can take those via Paypal also, using the links below.

We’ll even reward you for chipping in. Story posts will go up on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we’ll do a bonus post on Saturdays each time the tip jar reaches $25.
Not sure how much to give? Here are some things to think about:
$10 admission to a typical 2-hour Hollywood movie
$7.99 cost of a typical mass market paperback book
$2 cost of the daily New York Times
We’ll also gladly take cash, checks, beef jerky, and granola (er, packed separately please) at:
