I was checking for the usual swag and membership tiers on the donation page and found nothing. Surely people would go for the t-shirts/hoodies/caps/posters/membership cards, being mentioned on the SI site, etc.
In the meanwhile, until we get that set up, I'll mail a Singinst t-shirt to anyone that donates $100 or more and emails me.
It's this design on the front, and the Singularity Institute logo on the back. http://www.imaginaryfoundation.com/index.php?pagemode=detail&type=Mens%20Sale&uid=C190B0
I never got my t-shirt.
How would one go about e-mailing you?
Unless you just meant sending a private message.

I suggest making it easier to get bigger images of your designs-- they're detailed enough that what you've got on your site, or even view image and enlarge, don't show them adequately.
It's not our site, the Imaginary Foundation is kind of like a fake bizarro version of the Singularity Institute that's actually mostly a t-shirt company.
Out of curiosity, did SI talk to Imaginary Foundation and set up these shirts or are you modifying them personally, or what's the deal?
Personally I'd like a simple shirt with just the SI logo. As much as I enjoy most of the Imaginary Foundation's designs, this particular shirt has a "Three Wolf Moon" vibe.
Yes, the Director of Imaginary Foundation is perhaps unsurprisingly a long time movement Singularitarian.
Agreed. That's in the works, for the new website.
Should I assume that website will also include a links from your other comments on the donation page?
Sorry, what do you mean?
Cross-referencing. If you visit just the donation page, there are no prominent links to 'what this would be used for'-style information, i.e. what you put in your other comment. Obviously a minor issue at most, but you know how those work.
Though with that said, I've been wondering about that particular point. Website development, of all things.. there are probably dozens around here with the skills to do that, myself included, so it seems like the perfect option for in-kind donations. Do you know who I'd need to talk to about that, and whether or not there's any point? I can think of a few reasons you'd want to keep it in-house, not least confidentiality, but don't know which ones might apply.
Yes, the new donate page has links to explanations of what the money gets used for.
We are already a long ways down the road to the new website with a professional designer, but we have lots of other design and web development work that we love to give to volunteers when they are willing. If you're interested to donate-in-kind in that way, please contact luke [at] singularity.org.
