i have to say, this turned out way better than i thought it would. thanks to Gawker (sourceforge project) for the time-lapse recording, ifixit.com for the excellent guide and map to tape down the 7 types of 22 different screws i had to pull, and amazon for the sweet torx set. no thanks to home depot for being a bunch of can-i-see-your-receipt-sir thugs, but thanks to dewalt for the sweet drill. oh, and to scott joplin for the inspired music (taken from the original player piano scrolls!)

Thank you Tony! Nice rehearsal for your Oscar acceptance speech:)
What? No thank you to Swanya Thai for awesome Pad Thai and spring rolls?

What fun. Love the story and the time lapse video. Hate that you lost your draft.
I’m sure the new version will be much better anyway.

Fantastic! I LOVE THIS. Tony, you are amazing – what a lucky girl Sara is. And I loved seeing the dogs in the background every once in a while. Brilliant. Five stars out of five. ;0)

Glad we can all find amusement in my pain;) At least it’s good for something!
