Shouldn't they be Joe Electron that carry Carbons(Coulombs) to to devices that transform them into Jewels (Joules)?

Not really. It allows for the definition of the volt as one Joule per Coulomb, ie one jewel per Joe. Each Joe represents one coulomb of charge, ie about 10^19 electrons.

Having won the prize for oddest thread-jack, I'm going to appear really naive. Does Joe know what we're up to?

Good idea. Do you want to do that, Doug? I'm working today. 🙂
Feel free to cut and paste whatever from this thread.

My pleasure Frank. I'll make a general announcement and redirect to this thread; since this thread will receive the hits we'll have to do some shameless bumping of the announcement thread 🙂, to keep them both visible.

Frank, I hope I can speak for the group in thanking you for taking the lead for the idea of this gift for Joe. It is an inspired gesture from one gentle soul to another, and Joe is most deserving. Thank you kindly.

I'd be happy to do this either CC or PayPal. How far are we towards the goal now?

 

[terrafirmanada]

Iv'e been thinking that if we go over, we might just be able to keep an account for joe at popflash. Then if he ever needs anything he can just get it. This would also make it possible for other folks to show appreciation at a later time...

I have just visited the popflash site and made a contribution, so please add my name to the list. Thanks to all the organizers of Joe's appreciation gift, and thanks to Joe for all his hard work. Happy MLK Day to all those celebrating today.

That's a good thought, but we certainly aren't at our primary goal yet. I'm hoping Ray_g and Tony update us in a few hours, say midday, so we know how we're doing.

 

[fgianni]

So

Are we there yet?

 

[FrankS]

I'm guessing not yet.

I'm hoping Ray_g and Tony update us in a few hours, say midday, so we know how we're doing.

 

[MP Guy]

As soon as we get there let me know and I will close this thread.

 

[pedro.m.reis]

No totals yet?

 

[FrankS]

Nope. I'm hoping Ray_g and Tony update us in a few hours, say midday, so we know how we're doing.

Believe me, as soon as I know anything, I'll post it. Please remember that Tony at Popflash.photo is in the Pacific time zone of western US.

[FrankS]

Never too late. 🙂

 

[pedro.m.reis]

How much exacly are we aiming? USD 2000 ?

 

[FrankS]

Aiming to buy a camera with lens, which comes out to $2200 or so. Is there sales tax on that?

 

[ferider]

I'm in as well. Send me a PM when you get close. I'll pay with Paypal.
Let's not forget to get Joe a few M/LTM converters so he can use his
Canon lenses.
