Her parents have been trying to rally support, setting up a page for her on JustGiving.com. Big Ideas Digital, an iOS game developer came to the call for help given by Grace’s parents. Their game, Say What You See, is a brain teaser which is available for the iPhone and iPad.

Here’s the official description for the game: “Say What You See is a hidden object game in the style of Where’s Waldo?/Where’s Wally? and Dingbats/Whatzit? but with a cryptic twist. Once you’ve scoured each oil painting (or iCanvas) for objects, you’ll have to unravel their meaning too. Each iCanvas is themed around a different subject, from Scary Movies to Books, TV programmes and beyond.”

The game itself is free, however, they release canvases as separate downloads. Some are free while others are paid. To help raise money for Grace, they released a special canvas themed around her, called “Grace’s Toons”. All proceeds going to help Grace’s parents raise funds. Due to the recent popularity for the game, the developer was able to raise £21,000 towards the fundraiser. This, along with the donations gathered by the parents, is going to be enough to send Grace to the US for her surgery.

The announcement of the good news was made by Big Ideas. If you’d like to learn more about the game, here’s the official page.

A feel good story to get the week started off with.

I don’t say point this out to imply there’s some shady ulterior motive in either case; instead, it’s just frustrating to have an incomplete picture.  Anyway, in reference to Wikimedia, Nick Gonzalez writes, “Most of their revenue comes from private individuals, with donations averaging around $25. . . .  The 10,000th one came from a contributor in Finland, who donated 10 Euros at 8:58 UTC (4.58 ET).”

The fundraising counter now sits at 14,540 donors, and Gonzalez adds, “[T]here’s still time for plenty more.  The drive runs all the way through December 22.”

Wikimedia and Wikipedia have both been in the news several times recently.  On a more positive note, a college professor actually had her students write articles for the online encyclopedia.  In a not-so-good development, fans of webcomics are protesting the deletion of many, many entries.

The fans’ cry to ignore Wikimedia’s fundraiser doesn’t seem to have done much good, though.  Assuming, of course, that 14,000 donations corresponds to a reasonable amount of money.
