February 8th - via: studio360.org
Kickstarter is a crowd-funding site where creative people ask for money to complete projects. “It’s the creator’s responsibility to complete their project,” says Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler. Not every project will pan out; “that’s just the nature of making things.” But Jason Pointin, editor of MIT Technology Review, says the lack of a refund mechanism makes it ripe for a scam.

January 11th - via: spin.com
After all of the drama caused by Kickstarter campaigns last year — re: Amanda Palmer, and Animal Collective's Deakin — it's nice to see someone using the crowd-sourcing service for what its makers intended: as an avenue for unknown entities to make their dreams hilarious jokes come true. Atlanta resident Daniel Nadolny is attempting to raise $5 million in a month so that he can write and film a Spin Doctors biopic that stars bumbling Home Alone villain Daniel Stern as singer Chris Barron, because they look similar.
