The auction got another bump from ScienceCommons before bidding ended this afternoon at $455. I trust they’ll enjoy the ROFLDNA.
This is breadpig’s second ROFL-success (last year’s ROFLaptop contest ended at $521 raised for OLPC) but this one-of-a-kind-DNA-artwork was the idea of Erik Martin, reddit community manager, troublemaker, and member of the breadpig honor guard. And the folks at DNA11 were all-stars for accommodating our rather unorthodox request — delivering a gorgeous final product.
Also, we couldn’t have done it without the great folks of ROFLCON and of course, our fabulous DNA-donating Internet celebrities:
- A.J. “HatPerson” Mazur of Lil’ Jon-Lazy Town Remix “Cooking By the Book”
- Jay “TRON guy” Maynard who needs no introduction
- Ian Spector of Chuck Norris Facts AND Mr. T Facts
- moot of 4chan
- Irina Slutsky of GeekEntertainment TV
- Jason Scott, owner of Sockington & master of TextFiles
- Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere
- Damian Hess, AKA MC Frontalot of nerdcore hip-hop fame
- Vincent Connare, creator of Comic Sans
- Jamie Wilkinson of the FFFFF.AT Lab and Rocketboom
Thank you. The breadpig salutes you.
