Just wanted to confirm my issue arrived here in the UK very quickly (over a week ago now) and came extra packed as Derek says (now I have a virgin, untied bag to use for a gift or similar!). It was in perfect condition.

I found this video completely fascinating. All it really is is you putting stuff in the mail. But the final product which I received a month ago is so perfect, so very awesome.

And I now realize I have been saying your last name wrong for the past 10 years. I am now corrected.

Oh hey! If your issue arrived mangled, just let me know and I’ll send you another.

Very cool little video. I love the personal touch on the whole process and no, it wasn’t boring at all.

Richard: This was a 2-camera operation! One was the built-in camera on my iMac, and one was the Flip Video Ultra. And they mail just fine. The international ones do go in an additional mailer, just to make sure.

Thank You!

(Unfortunately my ~~postman~~ letter carrier folded the bag so it would fit inside my mailbox. Next time add a “Do not fold”-screen print.)

I loved the packaging for my first issue of Fray!

Great video Derek. I take it you used the Flip for this? The sound isn’t bad. Did you just use the built in mic?

Those bags… what’s the damage on the other end? Do the bags protect things better/worse than an envelope? A stay flat mailer?

I’ve been a labelwriter user since the CoStar days… love those machines. Wish Dymo would hire a “real” Mac programmer.

Peace to you.

Haha, if this video was actually done yesterday, that UK toe-dipper might be me..! Looking forward to getting it :) I probably should have subscribed really, given that issue #2 sounds right up my alley already.
