Enter online fundraising contests.

I'm also using this for the upcoming WeAreMedia Workshop in San Francisco which has a section on experiments and measurement. It could be as simple as opening up a google document and dropping in a few bullet points or cutting and pasting a comment. The next iteration of a photo contest, LOL Seals. More on that later.
