      You're right, my bad. Great to hear there's progress! Apologies for the harsh comment.

      "At the end of the process, estimated to take approximately two years..."

      We're about 16 months in so I'm not sure what's ridiculous. I have been a bit lax on the reports -- it's been a rough year or so -- and I apologize for that, but yes... there's lots of progress. I was planning the next report for next week and I guess now I will have some thoughts for anyone who is getting impatient or is otherwise unsatisfied

      Matthew,

      You sent me a donation after the Kickstarter campaign closed. The site isn't set up to add latecomers but I've got you listed.

      I am willing to help transcribe! I teach high school and have a free hour each day to dedicate. I helped transcribe for McSweeney's Hurricane Katrina book. Let me know at dbrianthomas at gmail.

      Congrats on reaching your fundraising goal! FTR, after spending some time reading it stories, I've been having pretty good luck with Dragon Dictate for the Mac. Give it a while, use one of the recommended mikes, and try to be someplace reasonably quiet. It's been helpful since the tremors from my MS made typing difficult.
      Live long and prosper,
      Kennita

      Thanks for the prompt! The project continues apace albeit with me behind 10 weeks of carpal tunnel and counting. Still, it's rolling. I'll post a full update next week with a few short excerpts.

      Sorry to bother you, since it is a new year and around a quarter since the last update might I trouble you for an update on the project?

      Good timing, sort of. We're beavering away at the conferencing website for MONDO participants to tell their stories and insights and argue with each others memories etcetera... and expected to be able to announce by the end of this week but... by next week, probably. By the week after that definitely, at which time I will post an update here on Kickstarter
