Lasers Are Here! They are in my hot little hands even as I type (which
is awkward let me tell you). As you may recall, Eric Boyd who placed
the order has left town for some months and I am handling distribution
and collecting payment on his behalf.
I'm looking at this page:
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Small_Laser_Module_Order
I see a number of names there I'm not familiar with. If you are one of
the following people, please email me to arrange for payment and pickup:
Kristin ~14 pc
MetaMind $10
Sean 20 units
Reto, $50
Everyone else, who I know, I'm emailing you right now.
