Help an Ape out and buy this .mp3 for a buck (change the quantity to increase the amount if feeling generous):

I WILL DO A REMASTER/PRONUNCIATION FIX WHEN IT IS ALL DONE. PLEASE POINT OUT ANY ERRORS AS I GO!

This is the introduction to the 1st edition of Origin of Species. I think it is VERY conceivable that I can do one chapter a week for the next 14 weeks in order to finish the book. I can make one (LONG) video for each chapter. No, this will not keep me from getting the Big Bang thing done this summer, OR all those video responses I promised (which are on a list and ARE on the way!).
For the sake of transparency and consistency, I cannot make any promises about specific amounts (you'll just have to trust me), but the more people throw me a buck for a given chapter, the more likely/more soon the next one will be. ;D
If enough brave souls can throw $14 at me, I will GREATLY hasten the project.
I CAN promise that anyone who gives me $14 (or more) will get a dollar back for every week I don't post a new chapter.
Also, it will all be released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license, regardless of the pace.
Is that fair?
