A megaupload / rapidshare premium account or would put it into advertising

if you're running a scraper this is probably some pretty super efficient information/$ and I'd probably do the same

otherwise, into my paypal account for etsy/ebay

They call it "beer money" for a reason - that's what I'd buy.

Bandwidth and some outsourced coding.

Edit: oops, I read it as $2000 not $20. With $20 I would buy both of us a fast food meal, or maybe a few rounds of pool.

Or the Canadian Version, Rickards White. Kinda not as cool as Blue Moon as a brand.

The man in the high castle and Ubik by Philip K. Dick. They're next on my wishlist and I've already spent my book budget for this month. If that's not an option I'd donate it to the development of Mongrel2.

To get an appreciate for Dick's bizarre late stage mysticism, make sure you read Valis too.
