I'm apparently on the short list to be public printer of the united  
states.  it was my idea, but they haven't laughed me out of the room,  
and I'm getting some decent support.  Vint, Lessig, O'Reilly are my 3  
personal references.  The hill seems happy, a few librarians are  
helping me out.  It still needs to pass the john podesta "are you  
kidding me" test, not to mention the "over my dead body" from the  
chief justice, and various shoot and kill operations in the senate by  
the fire chiefs, thomson, microsoft, and what not.  So, definitely not  
worth getting overly excited, but worth 4 days in the district to meet  
and greet.

Fingers crossed.  I'm still *definitely* a long-shot.  But hey ... I'm  
still on the board and they're answering my email.  :)
