As a community, we’re all about giving back. We’ve got the likes of MacSanta, PRODUCT (RED) iPods, and $100 iPhone credits. Now the world’s toughest programmer (I hear he has the belt to prove it) has launched an effort to support the endangered lemurs of Madagascar.
Delicious Monster’s Mike Lee has opened up Club Thievey, named after an incorrigible stuffed lemur (pictured) owned by his wife. The idea is simple: donate $100 to the Madagascar Fauna Group and Mike will send you your very own stuffed lemur for free. Then, take a shot of you and your lemur and it’ll get posted on the site. A number of indie Mac programmers like Brent Simmons, Gus Mueller, and Daniel Jalkut have already pledged their support to Club Thievey, but don’t worry, you don’t have to be a developer to join. Plus, if you donate tonight, you can join the elite Founding Troop.
If you’re looking for more info on Club Thievey, or why the lemurs are worth saving, check out the link above and you’ll find a veritable cornucopia of information from Mike. I know $100 is a lot, especially after Christmas, but you can also set up a recurring payment for a smaller amount if you want, like $10 a month. Besides, is that really too high a price for not incurring the enmity of the world’s toughest programmer? Heck, it’d be a steal at twice the price!
