Dave Zatz in conjunction with Stephen Mack, the director of TiVoCast Operations, has started a little money raising campaign for the James Kim Memorial Fund.James Kim was a senior editor at CNET and recently passed away when he got lost with his family in the Oregan wilderness after taking a number of wrong turns.
The tragic loss has sparked a lot of media interest and Dave Zatz and Stephen Mack are offering a unique TiVo Toaster to entice donations to the Memorial Fund. For every $10 you send via PayPal (to davezatz@yahoo.com) through 1/31/07, you will get one entry in a raffle for the unique TiVo Toaster.
Dave Zatz will send a check to the memorial fund for the total amount sent and will also be generously donating his website's Google Adsense income for the month of December.
Nice one Dave and Stephen
1. not to seem insensitive (although inevitable), why not donate to a charitable foundation? why do they need donations for support of his family?
james kim was most likely well-paid by cnet and i really don't see how or why his survived loved ones are not financially stable after his death.
