    Apple iPod iPhone Earbud Wrap

    I might add this little earbud design by Chris Thompson (EagleApex on Thingiverse). Might add it in MDF or acrylic as a free or low-cost bonus at some reward level. What do you think?

    I want to see this flash curing unit, too. What else will it cure? If you hack it, will it work as a flame-thrower? I have a problem with mowing my lawn.

    Jane, thanks a ton for all your support and encouragement. You are so amazing. That's why sugru is growing, exploding on to the DIY and maker scene! I learn from you every time I visit the sugru site and watch your community building passion in action. Thank you.

    hey thanks Steve, Viek, and Matt! I sincerely appreciate it. All sorts of things could have been off, for the time being, but i learned a ton and will do another kickstarter project in the future. the platform rocks, the people and community are awesome. I may be able to get the book upright in some other way. I guess I'll notify everyone if that happens!

    Thanks. It was a good run.

    A bit of a repeat publicly of what I shared last night privately with all backers. My deepest thanks. Makers Going Pro didn't make it, as you know, but I learned a ton and am incredibly grateful to everyone for their support and encouragement.  I'm leaving this one as a public update. Please stay in touch: Q4Sales at Gmail . com 

    You can keep up with me at Forbes and certainly feel free to share stories about the hacks, the things you make, your inventions via that email above or my Forbes column. 

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/tjmccue/2011/10/26/moving-the-economy-the-future-of-the-maker-movement/

    I would truly love to hear from you. I've also been working on a project around parts sourcing, too, to make it easier for makers who want to sell their kits. Email me and I'll share some details about the alpha program. 

    Thanks again!

    TJ
