There are a few things about Seattle that make it tough to live here. It rains. A lot. The cost of living is high, housing is through the roof, and there is this strange social phenomenon they call the “Seattle Freeze”. On the other hand… Glowforge!
Last evening @Tony showed up at my door with a beta unit.
So Josh doesn’t look like the bad guy with the inevitable flood of questions - while he’s going to post pics and videos, I’ve asked him not to take answer questions or take requests about his beta unit. We’re pushing out improvements on a daily and weekly basis, so anything that’s true today may not be tomorrow, and the play-by-play (fascinating though it may be) would unfortunately slow down progress. So please continue to direct questions, and requests to me or the rest of the GF staff.
As we get more units in customers’ hands that may change, but for now, Josh is being awesome by helping us put the unit through his paces, so please let him focus on that and save the questions for us.
I’m not jealous! All of the companies that are near my WV address are considering me. Wait a minute! There are no companies, businesses or people here. Dang! Still won’t move. Would make a round trip though.
It is very much worth a visit and the weather will be beautiful if you come at the right time. That time is between July 3rd and August 31st.
Unless you love gray.
Lots of gray.
Congratulations! I’m so thrilled to get this news, and glad that it went to such a nice guy! I’m hoping that even if you can’t answer questions, you’ll show us lots of pics of what you’re creating.
Right on. Here’s a warm “Cheers!” from San Jose, CA, to help with that Seattle Freeze! (Been there, done that, moved on. --still miss access to the San Juans)
BTW, each forge does indeed have a friendly-name. Josh’s unit is, creatively, Joshforge, but I believe we can change that if you’d like to name it something else, @jkopel.
