Some of you who attended the conference might remember this handsome dude (Alexis Ohanian) walking around ROFLCon and getting the celebs to sign his snazzy XO laptop — pictured here on the left. The end result ended up being pretty ridiculous: internet superstars from Randall Munroe of xkcd to Christian Lander of Stuff White People Like and Kyle from One Red Paperclip ended up scrawling all over its plastic surface.

In any case, news coming out over the interwaves that Alexis’ uncorporation Breadpig has announced that they will be auctioning this epic laptop on ebay for charity, with 100% of proceeds going to the One Laptop Per Child Organization. You can check out the sweet trailer for the project that Alexis put together here.

Time to get a’bidding!
