Geeks For Charity: Signed XO Laptop Auction

Co-Founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanion is not only hilarious, he’s charitable. For the second time, he’s auctioning off a laptop for charity (link). This time it’s an OLPC XO laptop (last time it was their Reddit laptops for curing cancer).

The XO laptop (pictured) is up for auction on eBay and is signed by notable attendees of ROFLcon (Tron guy, Xkcd, etc., list here). It expires on May 23rd and 100% of the auction goes to the OLPC.
