Somewhere, while reading this, someone is hatching an elaborate plot for a new crime series ...

When FOX sent out cease and desist letters to Etsy sellers of unlicensed Jayne Cobb hats, ThinkGeek decided to donate the profits from all Jayne hat sales to Can't Stop the Serenity, a Firefly-themed charity supporting Equality Now.

As if you needed another reason to get a Jayne Cobb hat.

And on ThinkGeek's website:

UPDATE 4/11 4:23pm ET: So, we got Fillioned.

Nathan Fillion tweeted a link to our blog post about our Jayne Hat donation to Can't Stop the Serenity (thank you, Nathan!) and our blog couldn't handle the traffic, taking the whole site down with it (thank you, Nathan?). For now, we're directing traffic from that post to this more stable page. The content of the blog post follows:

I'm going to have to bite the bullet and finally get myself one... From Etsy, obviously.

in the computer room at school in the 80s, we had a speech software program on the 32k BBC micro, that sounded a bit like that......of course we mainly just made is say disgusting things...

To be honest I prefer the old-school voice synthesizers to the weird ones we currently use. For some reason we make machines sound like overly cheerful women instead of machines. Siri, Google Translate, AT&T Text-to-speech...

Not to mention, the obstacle of voice recognition, and intelligible responses, are keeping us from fully utilizing artificial intelligence technology. If we'd stop expecting machines to be so human, we'd probably get along with them better...
