Hrm... something went wrong.
Hey, bad things happen to the best of us. Don't worry, the gnomes have been dispatched. Maybe try again in a little while.

Ok

Closing in!

September 9th - via: kickstarter.com
Almost one third of the backers are former students. I think that says quite a bit about the true spirit of this project. We need exactly $270 a day to meet the goal. If you feel so moved, and have any friends who are not on Facebook who were former... (Read More)

20% FUNDED

August 19th - via: kickstarter.com
The good news is 20% funded! The other good news is 80% funding to go and 80% of the time left. Weirdly, 20% of the funding is from 20 people. So I need 80 more people? I'm no statistician, but it seems pretty good so far. I am looking forward to... (Read More)

18% of the project is funded with 90% of the time left. This is so encouraging! I know there is soon to a lull in the middle. When that lull happens, please encourage someone else to pledge! Remember, if not fully funded, we won't receive the... (Read More)

There's been pledging every day, which makes me hopeful! So far the amount needed per day is a little ahead! Of course, that's due to you, my 'early adopters'!  (Read More)
