Polychrome Heroics Pool Announcement

Tentacles lurk under the surface of this sale's quarter-price pool. I'm starting out targeting all three poems in the Kraken thread (total $125 at quarter-price). Anyone who'd like to sponsor something from the sale at quarter-price is welcome to join by making a small but significant contribution to the pool targets, and then contributing toward the target of their choice. That poem will be added to the pool target list.

Every time pool contributions come in to fund the least expensive pool target, I will add another poem to the target list. If you haven't selected a target for yourself and would like to recommend one, please do, and I will use that one. Otherwise, I will pick one myself.

Hoping for good participation!

ETA: I will stop taking pledges around 6pm PDT (UTC -8), to allow any late joiners to settle accounts in time for a timely forwarding to [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith. There's still some time!

I keep a calculator within arm's reach on my desk. If math is easy, I can do it without, but for anything complicated I use it. The key is to make using the calculator easier than not using it. I have a hard time remembering how to set up math problems, but now search engines will autocalculate things like "What is 33% of 2,649?" or "45 is 66% of what?"

Ah, that makes sense. And having search engines that autocalculate is great. I often use google when I need to convert from imperical to metric values for recipes because I can never remember the conversion rates off hand.
