Flotation*

I posed for this photo in my personal flotation device (PFD), also referred to as a life preserver -- to remind everyone that Blip needs our help. If you value the pleasure you receive from Blip, please pledge or donate whatever you can afford to keep it alive and afloat.


*Investopedia definition of flotation:
The process of changing a private company into a public company by issuing shares and soliciting the public to purchase them. Flotation allows companies to obtain financing from outside the company instead of using retained earnings to fund a new project or expansion. The term "flotation" is commonly used in the United Kingdom; the term "going public" is more widely used in the United States.
