Good Monday morning all. Yesterday, around midday, the Kickstarter was at around $69,500. I promised myself that, if we could hit $70,000 before the end of Sunday, I'd share a little of the work going on here today. And... we didn't. But, I'm going... (Read More)
The Long, Dark Teatime of the Kickstarter
July 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Yes, I've been quiet for the last week. That's because I'm busy as hell. It turns out that I've got this book thing that people have promised $65,000 for. That's a lot of books. That's almost eleven times as many books as I expected people would... (Read More)

All right, it is just after 7:30 PM here. I figure I need to do an end of Day 1 update. I'm just not sure what to call the "end" of Day 1. People just keep finding the project and pushing it higher and higher. I guess I could wait until 9 PM at the... (Read More)
