Hi, long time no blog! I’m terribly bored – so might as well post something useful.<\/p>\n
So for anyone who knows me, I’m a Kickstarter<\/a> whore. As of this posting, I’ve backed about 51 projects<\/a> and am still constantly searching for the next interesting and unique thing I could back\/support\/get.<\/p>\n Kickstarter<\/a> is basically a crowdfunding site. If you want to produce something but have no budget, you submit your proposal to the site and the community can choose to pledge some money to fund your project – usually in exchange for getting the you’re offering for themselves – at heavily discounted costs. People who pledge only get charged when the funding goal is reached. If it doesn’t make it, then no harm, no foul. So in that sense it’s a very risk free way of getting cool stuff.<\/p>\n I guess it’s the whole uniqueness of the products that really appeal to me. While I do appreciate good consumer products, 1 <\/sup><\/a>And while a lot of Kickstarter products end up commercialized over time <\/span><\/span>
