I am in Taiwan until November 30. Ideally, I want to present this project at MakerFaire Taiwan on November 18th. Also I am going to Saudi Arabia from October 30th - November 5th. Oh and I also want to finish my BabelFish glasses at some point. Essentially, I have no time to get this project done. But unreasonable schedules are my forte!!
