Coffee & Kickstarters

Yesterday we brewed the strong coffee (and tea) and sat down and talked about the wonders and woes of Kickstarters.

(depicted: me doing some kind of magic trick, apparently)

There’s an audio malfunction for about a minute towards the end that gives my voice a robotic, destroy-all-humans quality. You can’t make it out, but I was just noting that the bell curve of Kickstarters is actually encouraged by the “remind me at the end” button — even if people come to your Kickstarter in the middle, they may click that and only back at the end. In other words, you may be picking up more backers in the middle than you realize.

Now I just need to find a new headset that includes ‘killer robot voice’ as a feature, not a bug.
