Mini and stickers are now mailed!

posted on January 12

Copies of Cadence & Slang Mini and stickers were mailed out today (January 12). People in the US and Canada should receive them in the next few days. People outside North America, hopefully within a couple of weeks. My computer-inclined butt is a relative newbie to the world of snail mail, so I hope I put on enough stamps for everyone and filled out the right forms and your addresses are written correctly and the right things are packed.

If anything has gone wrong, please forgive me. I am fallible, especially since I am doing this entire thing by myself. Then send me an email at nickd at nickd dot org explaining what went wrong. Maybe your copy of Mini has the wrong pages. (I collated all of them by hand.) Maybe you didn't receive stickers. Maybe you didn't receive your copy of Mini. I hope none of these are true, but should they be, I'll try to fix them as quickly as possible.

In lieu of a packing manifest, I enacted a simpler system. I ran through all the envelopes and placed little marks below your addresses, to indicate what you're supposed to receive. If your envelope has a blue mark on the front, I should have packed just stickers. If your envelope has a silver mark on it, both stickers and Mini should be inside. The way my project's rewards work out, those are the only two possibilities, so it made (way) more sense to cut the number of steps in packing, and avoid writing up bills of sale and so on.

It's really exciting to have these out the door. I have a few extra copies of Mini, and many (like, uh, over a thousand) stickers sitting around. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy your rewards!

As an interaction designer, I work to make technology simpler, more humane, and easier to use. I write specifications about software features, outline the way that web sites are structured, and analyze the way that people work. I want us to live easier lives.

I also like craft beer a lot.

I'd love to talk with you about usability or craft beer.
