Nothing too fancy, just a longstanding relationship with a freight company on the west coast. Between Norns and a Grid, I was going to get taxed a little more than iād have liked, but now I didnāt. I get a very good rate via DHL, too, who I trust a lot moreso than Australia Post.

I think the idea for sharing was for folks to do pull requests against the dust repository? Am I getting that right?

Hey, friends. Iām a longtime peeker, but a first-time speaker.
Iām a hobbyist noise collector, and modular led me to lines, and lines led me to monome, and monome led me to Norns. My Norns arrived last Thursday, along with a Grid.
My world was turned upside down. I quit my job on Friday, said farewell to my friends and family, wrote a Dear John SMS to my girlfriend (her name is John, so that part was already written), gave the dog like 2 months worth of food, and stockpiled jugs of water, canned goods, a hot plate, and a bedpan next to my hardware setup. Iām not getting up until I successfully lobotomize myself with loops.
My first steps in my new life with Norns are documented on my Instagram. Keep in mind that I have no idea what Iām doing. With Norns, music, or anything, really.
Iām a copywriter, not an engineer, so I wonāt be contributing code. But Iāll do my best to play-test errthang I can get into this beautiful gray box.

Found you on instagram the other day and have been enjoying your clips. Some of my fav Norns tidbits so far! 
Looking forward to more.
Good luck on the adventure!

Thanks! Iāve been learning so much from your posts here (and everyone elseās). The field recording, āwhat are you listening toā, and ciat-lonbarde threads alone kept me busy for a month. I feel like Iām going to college again, but this time for free and for something I want to learn.
The support and quality of this community centered around an obsession that can be so solitary is something I havenāt experienced outside of skateboarding. I suck at both skateboarding and music, but both taught me that you donāt have to be great at something for it to make you feel amazing.
One breaks bones, the other breaks banks.

Mine just arrived in the downunderverse.
Beautiful work, it is so aesthetically tactile, the metal is so pretty and soft.

Just wanted to jump in an say hi.
I bought my norns 2nd hand off reverb because I couldnāt wait for round 3 (THANK YOU J). I caught up last week on the this and the dev threads, and fully committed to pop in and give feedback / help whenever I canā¦ if playing with this thing doesnāt get me fired first. (Hooray for āmaiden dark themeā)
Really excited about the community and the potential. (somebody send @TheTechnobear a unit STATā¦ would kill for orac. nornac, norac?)
norns isā¦ confusingā¦ in the best way possible

I was surprised too, but Iām really happy he did 
Super nice guy who I think just realized itād be a little bit of a wait until a lot of it was fully realized.Iāve just recently recommitted to slogging through development of audio coding skills and what a beautiful way to do it! Now I just gotta keep up!

I thought the exact same thing! As Iām sitting here reading lines stuck in traffic on the 110 freeway.
