So I just got an email. And the email said something exciting. Observe:

Now, that’ll be coming to Portland from Vancouver via ground, so I probably won’t see these things until right about Thanksgiving. Then it’s label, postage, and in the mail for about 130 pre-orders (and growing!), and if all goes well the first of these may actually get to folks before November is quite over.

I cannot express my excitement. I am reduced to handwaving gestures.
