One week of Open Source.

As of some time later today, it will have been one week since I announced that all of my software (and comics) were  and funded, in large part, by donations.

Funding
Donations have been chugging along at a good, steady rate.  As of this moment we're at $821 total donated (plus some cents).  [You can if you'd like to pitch in.]
