At 11:57 last night, the Human Contact Kickstart was fully funded at $2400! That’s 15 hours<\/strong>, and it’s still going strong! I woke up this morning to find a larger list of Kodrek boards to make and several more copies of the book to send out. But I also discovered something else: you’ve put Human Contact on the front of the Discover page<\/a> at Kickstarter, under Most Popular<\/strong>! As of this writing, at 8:00 this morning, Human Contact the sixth most popular project! (I imagine that’s a measure of something like “backings per hour”.) The projects ahead of it on that list are really amazing, and they’ve got great videos, so moving up will be hard, but I’d like to be in sight of that cool iPhone tripod mount and that amazing comic for a good while. And I think maybe we can pass the “I’m Not A Hipster” book that’s ahead of us to take spot #5. To be frank, the number of people wanting to prove that they’re not hipsters is very high, so it could be a fight. Plus, the graphic design is good.<\/p>\n

So, OK! Objective #1 achieved! Thank you all! Objective #2 is next: a posting on a major geek blog<\/strong>. I can’t do that \u2014 the biggest geek blog I post on is my own \u2014 but maybe you can! So far, most of my backers are only one social network hop away (we used to call those “friends” and “relatives”), with a few people over the horizon another step away who got in early because they were excited about something their node-neighbors were excited about. But I’d love it if you could help spread the word further.<\/p>\n

$2400 buys the project a shoestring. Help me get it some stout, sea-worthy cable!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
