"Paganism for young ones" 'cause it's never too early to start imposing your views on others:

For only $25, you can receive a self-published ebook done through a vanity publisher with three "this is a scam" warnings on the first page of Google results for their company name. I wonder if the ability to use capital letters in your book is one of their "premium" services.

Obviously the best place to put my expensive phone is hanging off my hat a good foot from my face!

E: Did you guys know that your iPhone is as big as a 60 inch HDTV if you just hold it a foot from your face?

It looks like the weight of the phone would pull the hat off. Is there any way to counterbalance it? Maybe by adding a coffee cup holder to the back of the hat?

Now, let's look at this guy:

I looked at his website, and I actually like his paintings. I don't understand why he wants to paint like a child on purpose.

I don't care about what style he chooses to work in, but this is a perfect example of kickstarter-as-store. His goal is £12.

iPhone Kickstarters are nothing if not reliable.
OK, I'm challenging the Kickstarter community right now: Make an iPhone accessory that turns your phone into a self-propelling vehicle for a person.

Segway controlled via Bluetooth from an iPhone. If you multiply the iPhone's success and the Segway's, then... a very large number x 0 = 0.

But the Trumpstarter page is really high quality as seen on their Category list:


And can someone help me decipher this thing: [ulr=http://fundanything.com/en/campaigns/1183#]I am a Highly Spiritual Person trapped in an Abusive Relationshiphttp://fundanything.com/en/campaigns/1183#sthash.KUKZ7vdJ.dpuf[/url]
Server, lady, there is no crowdfunding which could replace that. (Ok, the funding ended like 9 months ago, 185 $ made of the 5000 $ goal, she moved out, but it is so full of batshit insanity)

No idea, but I'm only finding one Katie Long in Williamsport, PA, and, as of January, she's running a dairy farm with her husband. Does FundAnything verify the identity of the poster? I'd be a bit pissed if that was the fifth result for "my name my city" on Google.

At least her pitch doesn't feature blurry webcam picture and lovely mic, as she has no webcam and mic, so she recorded it on her MP3 player.

She's "making" a game for iOS and Android, but she doesn't own anything that can record video? Like, say, every single iOS and Android device?

Good way to get a flask into stadiums/concerts that do pat-downs but don't have metal detectors. Probably also be better than the "hidden" travel pouches that tie around your waist and can easily be cut loose from the back.

I saw this game pop up on my linkedin not too long ago:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1243798631/poke-a-monsta

They claim it's a game with "10 levels of Retro style action". "Retro" now apparently mean "incredibly low effort". The gameplay appears to be solely about clicking poo poo on screen when it appears. They're trying to get funding so that they can buy GameMaker Studio Pro and Sketchbook Pro to finish the game. GameMaker makes some sense, but Sketchbook Pro is a touch overkill for a game built around pixel art.

Nothing says retro like touchscreen controls.

Why would you want this? Even if you think it's a cool tech app, why? Grab a cockroach, cut off its antennae, attach a microcontroller to its back, and make it move left and right for ten minutes?

I'm surprised this hasn't been done before by at least conspiracy nutjobs. Would it be illegal to say, download this application, somehow automate the submission process and farm it out to people a-la bitcoin mining?

You could essentially create a wikipedia of FOYA documents on the cheap.

You need to be fairly specific with what you're targeting with a FOIA request, so some sort of automation like "documents from the Department of ______ concerning ______" would just get you a letter back that the request is overly broad. And you have to pay for copies.

You'd think that if it took you 38 years to come up with an idea, it would be better than printing out pictures of crudely drawn cupcakes and mailing them to people.
