My friend built the exact website http://www.litrom.com , online donations to non profits (over 400 of them), only available in Israel though, for now :(

I use an IntelliPen (a better product than it's name suggests), ~$70 at Amazon.Technology is from a company called Epos, http://www.epos-ps.com
  Can be used as a regular pen without a computer and STILL save the notes for use on a computer later. Useful for notes and drawings also...

" it seems to be working" That's what we (a game developer) were told, seriously.
Having developed a co-op MMO shooting game, we were told to stop and develop an online multiplayer competitive one. Not just by our investors and industry experts, but by focus groups of 9-15 year olds. ( http://www.moondo.com ).
While we made it non-bloody and fun as possible, the result is very competitive based.
Basically, to develop a game these days you need over a million dollars -> to get that , you need to focus on a genre that sells -> most of the top-selling genres are competitive (not to say violent) , that's why you'll find very few good coop or non-violent games.
