There are various reasons to back a Kickstarter project: you might directly want to experience the product, or perhaps like the idea and want it to happen, or maybe the project is in an area you feel is underserved, or maybe the project is funded and you see benefits to the ‘stretch goals’. Whatever the [...]

Sinister Design Re-Launches Telepath Tactics Kickstarter!
Last fall Sinister Design, creators of the excellent ‘Telepath RPG: Servants of God’, launched a Kickstarter for its ever-expanding game Telepath Tactics that would allow Craig Stern to properly complete the game with all of the desired features. That effort failed to gain proper support, but Stern he had learned from the attempt and knew [...]
Nifty MiniDrive Kickstarter Project Finally Ships
Judie and I were on the phone together while ordering our 15″ MacBook pro with Retina display laptops, so we could discuss the specific specs we wanted. At the end of the day we both went for the fastest processor (Core i7) and most RAM (16GB) we could get. Judie had just about convinced me [...]
JuiceCan Portable Power Recharger Now Available
There are a couple of things about the JuiceCan Portable Power Recharger I want to mention to y’all. First is the most obvious one: It’s a device that’s more eye-catching than your typical flat-black brick o’ power. Now, I prefer the “form over function” design strategy, and my portable power brick is pretty dull looking, but [...]
Sonar Linux Aims to Make Linux Accessible to All
Over the years that I have worked in an IT support role, I have often had the experience of talking to people who didn’t have perfect eyesight or who might have other disabilities. What might be easy for you or me to do on a computer might be extremely difficult for someone who doesn’t have [...]
VIVAX Would Be the James Bond of All Notebook Cases
When it comes to protecting your gear with cases, unless you’re like my kids and only want a case that’s going to serve as decoration (and a lot of teens seem to be in that category), you have to perform a dance between convenience and durability. Take Otterbox as an example; the cases are [...]
Foam iPhone Cases Kickstarter Project
A couple of years ago on Christmas, I got the kids iPhones as their “big gift”. They were teens now, they had already spent several years “practicing” with less expensive (usually “free with contract”) phones, the iPhone had been on the market a while, and they really really really really (repeat several hundred times) wanted [...]
Orp Smart Horn Will Improve Safety and Visibility for Cyclists on the Road
I live in Austin, which we like to think of as “The Live Musical Capital of the World” (and honestly it probably is), but which is also a huge biking mecca. He-who-must-not-be-named is from here, and the number of teams and individual cyclists who are out on the road regularly is simply staggering. And just [...]
GCW Zero – Open Source Gaming Handheld
Have you ever looked at the Playstation Vita or Nintendo 3DS and thought that they look great, but you would rather have a handheld gaming system that ran inexpensive open-source games but had physical control buttons? That is the concept behind the GCW-Zero: Open Source Gaming Handheld. Project Title: GCW-Zero: Open Source Gaming Handheld Status: [...]
TabMount Tripod Adapter Will Take Your Tablet to New Heights
Project Title: tabMount – Tripod Adapter for iPad, iPad mini, & All Tablets Status: Active Closing Date for Funding: January 27, 2013 URL of the Project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndrasheta/tabmount-tripod-adapter-for-ipad-ipad-mini-and-all From the Creatives: “Imagine being able to mount your iPad, iPad mini, or whatever tablet you are currently using to a standard tripod. That’s exactly what you’ll be able to do [...]
The CrystalCore TiltDock
Since I got my iPhone 5, I have been using it a lot, way more often than my iPad. I use it for pretty much everything from watching TV to taking notes to reading books to playing games. Which is great, except when I want to prop it up and read while I’m eating, or [...]
Monkey Kit: Flexible Tablet Positioning System
A few months back, I reviewed the TabletTail: Whale Kit, an interesting and innovative iPad holder and stand combo with a flexible “tail” that allowed you to use it as a grip and not just a stand. Now the same folks are back on Kickstarter with their next project: A flexible tablet position gizmo. Now [...]
CasinoRPG, a Browser-Based Tycoon/MMORPG/Casino Game
This Kickstarter campaign is to fund the development of a cross between a Tycoon game, MMORPG, and a gambling game. This game really intrigues me because I’ve always been interested in a Mass Multiplayer Online-type environment where you can keep building an empire and the game continues ever after you log off. In games like [...]
The Pebble Watch Press Conference
Are you one of the people who backed the Pebble watch on Kickstarter? Dan and I were, but unlike every other smartwatch that we have personally backed on the crowd funding site Kickstarter since the phenomenally successful Pebble was successfully funded, the Pebble still hasn’t shipped. We’ve been curious about the holdup; not alarmed, just [...]
