April 17th - via: kickstarter.com

April 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Hi! Last night, we topped 54% by six dollars; tonight, we're just shy of 55% by four dollars. So, we basically went up a percentage point—which is nice—but that's not a rate that gets us to 100% with 23 days left to go, so please tell folks about... (Read More)
Up three more percentage points: now 54% of the way to funding!
April 14th - via: kickstarter.com

Just $19 from breaking 50%!
April 12th - via: kickstarter.com
We are SO close to breaking $6,000 and the 50% mark, here on just the third day of the 30-day campaign, that it very well may happen before you read this. Just $19, so a single ebook pledge ($15) won't quite do it, but most other pledges would. Call... (Read More)

April 12th - via: kickstarter.com
