Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and bass player for Breadpig, went around ROFLCon asking various people to sign an OLPC laptop (myself included), which he has put up for auction on eBay, with 100% of the proceeds going to OLPC.

The auction ends on May 23rd. Here’s a video of this generous Breadpig project.

UPDATE: The OLPC laptop was sold on eBay for $520, all proceeds donated.
