Combos Away!

September 26th - via: kickstarter.com
I took the last of the driver/tablet stand combo rewards to the post office last night, so those should be arriving soon! I have to say, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this, I am not happy with my progress.  I've started prototyping the vial boxes,... (Read More)

May 21st - via: kickstarter.com
I did not make any progress on rewards this week due to having to catch up on time lost due to weather on my other job. I'm helping to restore an old house, but we've mostly been doing exterior painting for the past couple months, which means if it... (Read More)

Rewards are in the mail!

May 14th - via: kickstarter.com
So I ended up losing most of last week to the bug I had last weekend. Still, I'm happy to announce that the first round of rewards are in the mail. This week looks pretty busy; I've got a week's worth of missed work to make up. Wish me luck! (Read More)

Bits and Pieces

April 30th - via: kickstarter.com
