September 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Congrats to all of us for hitting the Stretch #1 and Stretch #2. I wanted to come up with another stretch goal for #3, but I needed to figure out something fairly lightweight, because the big packages that go overseas are already pretty heavy. I... (Read More)

A little color science ...

August 30th - via: kickstarter.com
I just responded to a question, and thought it might be interesting to add this little bit into everyone's headspace. Graphic Designers love to know how science intersects with their art. Here is one of the most beautiful graphs I've ever seen, from... (Read More)

Not slow, just tired ...

August 30th - via: kickstarter.com
I just finished the little video for the stretch goals, and meanwhile, the $6k stretch goal was already met earlier today. So it looks like y'all are getting either a Pixel Wrench or a Pocket Pixel tool with your incentives. I started on the little... (Read More)

Stretch Goals ...

Hi Everyone, thanks for your input on the stretch goals, I started a video to show them. But it's going to take another day to get the video ready, my phone flips the videos 180-degrees unless I re-save them. That takes a while. But I will hopefully... (Read More)

Almost ready for stretch goal, but a little feedback first?

i want to properly present the new tools of the stretch goal, and I would like to do that with a video, so another day please? But until then, a question, hopefully a little bit of feedback? I want to make sure we hit the stretch goal, because I have... (Read More)

Hi All, I don't mean to prolong the suspense, it's not that big of a deal, but I just can't get into the description of the stretch goal now, it's late and I'm more tired than a racehorse hitched to a motorcycle. I was able to get into inventory and... (Read More)

On popular request ...

August 17th - via: kickstarter.com
We had a lot of requests for an all-in set. I had to try to figure out a way to do one while still being fair to the existing Backers, because you Backers are top priority, you've made this happen. So ... if you've pledged the regular Non-early-bird... (Read More)
