Hee hee, yeah, we got a little bit of a surprise this afternoon. While I wait for the bandwidth to reset, I'm working on an updated (streamlined?) version of the site. To those who had questions about our desire to contribute to diabetes research and our finances in general: We expect to make some money, believe it or not, based on feedback we've received. After we've taken out the cost of cartridge production and some expenses like the cost of incorporating and the webspace (not salaries or such), the rest of the money really IS going to diabetes research. We didn't really expect to make enough money to support ourselves on the profits (we're not deluded, merely extremely persistent). I happen to have been a type I diabetic from the age of four, so when we started discussing all of the good things we could do with the money, diabetes research seemed like a great choice. And hey, I bet all of YOU have some weird hobbies, too. We might actually manage to do some good with ours...:) -Stephanie (musician/programmer, Scatologic)

By the way, are you guys going to be at CGE2K?
:)
I'll give you a firm 'maybe' on this. If we are, it will likely only be on the last day for a specific roundtable on Sunday morning.
When I know for sure, I guess I'll post the details to the site if you want to say hi
Ah, also, thanks to you and to so many others for your kind comments!
