So these guys have a kickball team. Only they want $2500 for uniforms. Not quite sure why they can't wear a goddamn t-shirt like everyone else in the league (Disclosure: I once played in this league years ago). Also one of the higher-end backing tiers is that they'll let you stay under their tent if it's raining!

John Rogers (creator and showrunner of Leverage, among other things) had a couple of thoughts on the Veronica Mars Kickstarter and it's worth a read. He spent most of Thursday night schooling that Atlantic writer about how TV is funded, which is what question 3 is all about.

TheJoker138 posted:Do you have a link to the original Atlantic article he's referring to? I believe the article is this one. Kickstarter isn't about need for money, but want. At least according to this guy. (There's also a bunch of Twitter screaming from a lot of people starting March 13th, if you follow John Rogers on Twitter he starts out talking about the article and then ends up giving a class in how TV and movies are funded.)

With 33 minutes to go and a single donation, I don't think the get a kickball team some uniforms project is going to make it.

Sometimes I wish that Portlandia didn't pull so many punches. Back the second edition of Pedal, Stretch, Breathe: the Yoga of Bicycling.

Looking through the Recently Launched or Ending Soon categories can yield some gems. Just launched: The Biggest Flag Ever, where the only thing that can possibly go wrong with the project is the weather. Ending soon: A wall-mounted bottle opener, billed as a "forever object." Also, what is with all of the deck of playing card projects I see lately? They're becoming the new iPod accessory. Though this particular project didn't go through, maybe it was the fabric on the headband...

Madcosby posted:Is working in a patent office just the equivalent of working in a nuthouse? The poo poo they must get... do they have to take someone seriously if they can't even write? Just like Valve has an economist on staff, I'm beginning to think Kickstarter needs a social worker or psychologist to talk some of these folks off their ledge.

wa27 posted:Oh wow. Apart from products that never get made, that looks like the worst resulting product from a technology kickstarter I've seen. $165 for that?! I think it was $269. Makes the Leap look useful by comparison. Gesture interfaces may be coming someday, but certainly not with Ring.

Captain Hygiene posted:Hey, man, if you really need those geometric shapes crafted out of metal, you've gotta be willing to take some risks. I'm still trying to figure out what the tungsten cubes were supposed to be for. Communicating with alien life? Putting in a terrarium? Teaching Platonic solids to your homeschooled dolt? I don't get it.
