Update #6: Updates- catalog, and my TEDx talk.
The show is hung, we've photographed the room, and the catalog is underway!
I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be speaking at one of the TED conferences in two weeks, and my work with wax cylinder recordings will feature heavily in my evening's talk.

If you're close to Chicago, I hope to see you there! It's only a 300 seat theater, so get tickets in advance.
More news on the catalog soon, we expect to be shipping right after the TED conference!
Thanks so much everybody,
Tom
