Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Use Perl.
Google docs has a spread sheet, but perhaps not sophisticated enough for you.

Use Python.
Can I embed a Google docs spreadsheet on, say, my blog so that readers of my blog can input a few assumptions of their own and see what comes out?
Yes
Embed a spreadsheet in a blog or webpage
sorry already posted, delete my last comment pls
I've seen Mish Shedlock use Tableau.

Use Python.
Python is terrible. Use Ruby or Perl.
I have a team of programmers in India that will do this for you for a low low fee!
Wolfram alpha has a fairly easy-to-use widget system. It's built for this sort of thing more than Google Docs.

Perl, Python, Ruby and in fact anything but JavaScript are server-side languages; using them you'd have to have server code that the browser could talk back and forth with (and I presume you don't have access to 'your' server). Browser-only code has to be JavaScript. Unfortunately I don't know of any offhand. Something like 'javascript spreadsheet' is what you'd probably want to look for. But, how much control do you have over your page anyway? /Can/ you embed arbitrary html + [script][/script] stuff? I'm thinking actually, that most of what you'll find will be organized into a few separate files, and thus require that you have access to the server itself (again) - you probably won't find JS organized so as to fit right on a single page, between [script] tags. (substitute square brackets for angle ones - blogger won't let me post the real thing). But y'know, server space isn't that expensive, < $10 month. But, probably the /work/ is more than you want to get involved in. Still I'm sure you have technically astute readers - put out a call, perhaps.
What is forecasting?
Hire Nate Silver.
Use Perl.
Also, get a time machine and go back to 1998. Really, perl for web page GUI programming?
Go with the Wolfram dealy on this... Considering your track record I doubt you will want to catch up on 15 years of HTML evolution any time soon, so if you're the quitting type just skip that & go straight to the Google Docs sheet, which sucks for the purpose of your ca. 1992 four-color climbing graphs but has a wide range of dumbed-down formula inputs usable with most any dataset. In fact put everything in the Google cloud, including your 401(k) and family heirlooms...
Zoho is also an option:
Embed Zoho Sheet
This is another vote for Tableau. It's got a low learning curve, but has a lot of flexibility. It has a free option, and a great community online for figuring things out.

I've been using it for ~year, and it's pretty impressive. With the free version, you can publish your visuals online and link them to your website. The paid version allows for more security with the data, but that may not be important if you are dealing with public data.
Hey, Python isn't so bad. It is server side though. And javascript is bad. Wish I didn't have to use it at work.
PM me and I'll have my people do it for you just for fun. It's what we do. - Curt
