Time is winding down to the 8/17 deadline, but I think I'm in good shape. I have a few things left to take care of tomorrow, including putting up my 5 minute video and finishing posting my build instructions.

Late Tuesday night I finished packaging up all my prototypes and they left via USPS priority mail on Wednesday, due to arrive on Friday. I tweeted out a photo Tuesday night.

Unfortunately as you can see in the tracking update above, my package went out on the mail truck Friday without being delivered. How does that happen? The mailman must have found it in his truck today and noted that the business is closed. With any luck the mailman will drop it off on Monday, and if he doesn't I hope I'm not penalized.
