OPW - Jan 10 - My passport was lost/stolen dammit. So, what should I do about the iDate conference sessions I'm presenting? Show up anyway!  I'll be presenting the 3 hour internet dating industry primer on Wednesday virtually, along with a number of onsite expert guest speakers. Mike Baldock, the Courtland Brooks Director of Business Development will present our mobile dating overview on Thursday morning, right after Match.com's keynote. Thanks to the Asus Skype webphone, I can man the Courtland Brooks booth for two days. We'll have the following people from Courtland Brooks attending. Mike B., Director of Business Development. Shawn M., Analyst. Irena B., Online Personals Watch editor. See you there.

Sorry to hear about losing the passport! Great to hear you still made it to the conference to speak though! Would've loved to hear your talk. :)

I sent in for another passport at the end of May. Its supposed to be a 4 week wait time from the date the credit card is charged $220 for the new passport processing. The card was charged on June 1st. I called in Wednesday of this week and they couldn't even find the app in the system. They said it can take 2 weeks to even get in the system, after the credit card is charged. Ick. And they said it was 4-6 weeks processing now. I'd mentioned in the app that I needed for June 11th, but lost hope. It showed up Friday afternoon, thank goodness.
