I was planning on giving $1000...

but 2011 will be the first year that I itemize, so I'm really only spending 75% of whatever I give...

and I can pick up that sweet match from curiousepic...

and if I ever want to be rich & happy, I have to maximize EV where I see opportunities to do so...

So I've made it an even $1531 to SIAI. Happy Holidays!

I may try to itemize this year - is there a good guide to doing so?

Also, if I'm reading this correctly, I should match $531 to SI for you?

My plan is just to read IRS 1040 Schedule A and the instructions for it. The tax code itself isn't too horrible either, from what I've seen, but this is coming from a guy that reads computer programs for fun and profit.

Yeah, lock up that $531 for SI.
