Hey Hackaday!

I've been really excited to see my project make it as far as it has in the HAD Prize ranks, and I have to tell you it has actually been really unexpected. THANK YOU to everyone who has liked, shared, and followed the Adaptive Guitar project!

I appreciate the comments and the feedback across the board, and though I admit that my entry has lacked much of any activity since I constructed my page for my official contest entry, please realize that I've spent a LOT of time on this project (>4000 hours probably), and that it's going to be a process for me to be able to take the time to break down my efforts in detail (which I WILL do, I promise - but my life has been under transition the last few months with very little time to spare). 

I wanted to at least get the project out there, if not for an official HAD contest entry, at least to give the project new life and exposure to all of YOU, who I know can help me make it better and move it forward. I had no idea that the project would be so well received, and I'm reeling in anxiety over here as one of the finalists...

That said, my intention is to pick this project up full force and complete my vision for the Adaptive Guitar and many other ideas I have that extend the concept of assistive devices in musical context. I'll be blogging the details, and am sincerely and intently planning to make this project the first platform on which I become more of a contributor than a consumer here on Hackaday.

Thanks again, everybody!

Joe
