While digital distribution is all completely set up, I'm in the process of getting physical CDs made.  The masters have been mailed off to <a href="http://www.tunecore.com/">TuneCore</a>, and I've got the album artwork finished up.

<p>
Front cover (that's our deck and back yard, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_Tracker">Impulse Tracker</a>, the software I use to write my music):

CD (my Sennheiser HD-600's):
