Good content as always, but now Im worried that Undercurrent doesnt pay you enough. Do we need to start a new fundraiser called Get fingers for Julias gloves? Its almost winter again, and frozen fingers may adversely impact your ability to tweet (unless youre about to announce some voice to Twitter service).

Well the puppies certainly made the day of a friend of mine, so you rock for that alone! :-)
