# Phhhhewwwewewewwwwww – Memory Card #35 👋🏻 As I so eloquently put it [yesterday](https://buttondown.com/MaxFrequency/archive/we-did-it/), the video is finished. It will be live on Monday, February 17 at 12:00 PM EST. And what a relief it is to type that sentence out. 😮‍💨 I really thought I wouldn't finish until next week, but I had that twisted, obsessive focus juice coursing through my brain, which pressed out the finished product. Like I said yesterday, my brain was mush. I have a few more steps before I *should* hit the publish button. I want to proof the final video one more time. I already caught a typo in the credits this morning and had to re-export and re-upload. 🫠 I want to prepare a few Shorts to post on the "main" channel.[^1] I need to finalize and proof the video description. I need to finish posting the older essays on [the new essay channel](https://www.youtube.com/@MaxFrequency) so everything is in order. Lots of i's to dot and t's to cross. In the interest of honoring [Patreon](https://patreon.com/maxfrequency) promises, the video will be live there for paying members on Sunday. I may have zero members, but it is probably best to practice what I promise. My brain is already turning its gears on to my next essay, which will be much shorter than this one. For sure. Definitely. If it is somehow longer than this one, I will play *Balan Wonderworld*. Now if you'll excuse me, I am off to proof this sucker on my TV while I eat leftovers.
