Congratulations on the success of your Kickstarter campaign, Mark. But shouldn’t you do the customary “you did it / thanks”-update if you reached your goal three days ago?

Hey Ad.. thank you. Yes I should. I’ve been a busy bee and Im kind of watching to see what happens with the campaign. But yes, , message to the people, coming up this weekend.
