Ian is training to complete a triathlon in September to raise money for leukemia and lymphoma research and treatment.

So are you going to personally deliver a pie to Microsoft? If so, can I make a $25 donation and request a video of that rather than a personal thank you?

I'll make the video, but it might be pretty boring - it would consist of me walking into Ian's office and him saying "Hey guys, pie in the kitchen."

His last name is not, in fact, the name of a city in Australia - or would it be "Preth?" I would totally change my name to Perth though, even if only because it makes me think of "Pern" when I read it.

That's really nice of you to think about donating, I feel bad asking people who are grad students or other similarly poorly paid positions. I offer a discount on the cookies for us poor hobos though; a mere $50 (hah) gets you cookies if you are a teacher, student, unemployed or "employed" by a non-profit.
