Update #4 · Jul 9, 2012 · comment

I knew it was coming, but I was still thrilled to see that shio wass featured on Cool Hunting's design blog this morning:

In other news: The flow regulator I wrote about the other day is working perfectly and is tenderly shaping a new vitellus as I write this. Its only been at it for a few days so far, but if it keeps working this well it represents a big step forward. I'm excited!

Right now we are about halfway to our goal but also about halfway through the campaign, and I want to thank you all again for your support! Receiving any funding at all is still not guaranteed, and it is hard to predict at this point whether we will reach our goal or not. I am itching to order parts and begin buildout so I can put shio in your hands as soon as possible. But I cant do any of that until I know we'll reach our goal. So please keep spreading the word!
