I received two donations yesterday. One was from Ingrid and
one from a friend a business advisor, Juliet Mee. This gets me to an
important milestone: $200. This gives me enough money to pay for the gas
round trip (25 MPG, 1400 miles, 15 gallon tank, $1.80/gallon) and maybe some
snacks along the way.

I also received word from Wendy that my request for a press
pass was approved, pending confirmation of my press credentials. A quick
phone call to the Springfield Business Journal and we're all
set. Wendy, Clarissa's out of the office until late next week. They want to have her sign off on the whole deal before I send you anything. I'll call you if something changes.

I'll write more later. I'm headed back to the house to fiddle with the
firewall. By the way, Jake's right: Mozilla Firebird rocks. If Safari
didn't exist, I'd use Firebird instead. On my Windows laptop at work, I
have it installed and it's fast-fast-fast for rendering pages.
