August 16th - via: kickstarter.com
It seems like that should be a milestone. We're not unlocking anything, though, and we only have vague "we'll do something cool at $15,000" plans, so it's kind of just a waypoint... but what a waypoint! I'm still surprised at the support that... (Read More)

August 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
OK, it's well past morning for some of you (hello, my European friends!), but I just got up. I launched this just after midnight, my time, which was a little odd, maybe, but it was a bit of an experiment. So, when I checked in on the project, lo... (Read More)
