Uh. Well, if Joey comes to town we’ll be at dim sum. If he does not and I don’t go to Canada I’ll be at dim sum. If I go to Canada, neither of us will be at dim sum.
Clear as mud?

Re Planet Aid… I thought this operation was totally discredited by the Boston Globe in 2002. They say they raise money for worthy causes but less than 5% actually gets to the poor and oppressed.

Here is a link to the Boston Globe piece that attacks Planet Aid as a scam.

topic: re-establishing the Webcast. I’ve heard doing it via RealAudio is a “pain” and/or expensive (like $500 for a site license) but could we get a little more analytical about this. Rick Heller (I think) suggested Yahoo chat. Did we try it? on and on. The Mike Walsh Foundation may be willing to fund a solution if it’s spec’d properly.
