Well, I finally got around to sending in a donation just now, hopefully this hasn't been forgotten by everyone. I would have loved to donate more through Zilvia, but my company is matching donations dollar for dollar, so the bulk of my donation went through them to maximize the benefit.

I would also like to suggest that the second payment be given to a different organization than the Red Cross. It's not that I have anything against them, but I saw an article the other day that said that the Red Cross has received over 80% of all donations made to Katrina relief efforts, and there are lots of other great organizations out there that could use the money as well.

ps - I forgot to include my username, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
