Hi, Jason Scott here.

The shipper and I drove to Hartford tonight, post-Sandy. She from Boston, me from outside of Poughkeepsie. We met in the parking lot of a Barnes and Noble, which coincidentally is the company Schuyler currently works at (although his is in Vermont). So one car-load later, I'm back home with the piles of boxes, locks, t-shirts and other materials related to the Kickstarter.

Some of these were addressed, boxed, completely ready to go. I intend to head out tomorrow and I'll get them going to people, notably behind schedule but backfilling the waiting items. Others I will box and get out as well. I'll be working with Jason Aller, our brilliant spreadsheet guy, to make sure the most up to date ships occur. 

From here on out, I am handling shipping. I'm your guy.

Here's a picture of Schuyler presenting his new picks to an audience last week;

He reports this randomized field test went very well, with no breakages or obvious problems. I'll have a progress update on this front as soon as possible.

Thanks again for the patience on the non-pick reward boxes. I intend to have this part complete very shortly.
