our new donate page

This is off-topic, but I'm curious: What were you and Louie working on in that photo on the donate page?

Why, we were busy working on a photo for the donate page! :)

Hopefully that photo is a more helpful illustration of the problems we work on than a photo of our normal work, which looks like a bunch of humans hunched over laptops, reading and typing.

Support Singularity Institute and Make Your Mark on the Future

Definite articles missing in a number of places on that page (and others at the site).

Fixed.

Just for the sake of feedback, that photo immediately made me laugh. It just seemed so obviously staged. I agree that it's better than "hunched over laptops" though.

I have posed for a similar photo myself. Happily a colleague had had genuine cause to draw a large, confusing looking diagram not long beforehand, so we could all stand around it pointing at bits and looking thoughtful...

Same here.

It could just be me but it somehow seems wrong that Peter Theil is paired with the google option rather than pay-pal.
