    Hello,
    I am Mike and I am between jobs and retirement actually.

    My passions are fishing, boating, gardening , puttering with tools and the web as a source of knowledge. I did do a severe stint in the online game field........

    Hey guys, I'm John and I have recently graduated from university studying sports Management.
    We are currently looking to produce a full scale Family Guy Epic Chicken Fight in Public (London) for everyone's enjoyment, but we need some funding to make this all happen! Thanks!

    Day job: writer. I know how lucky I am. I still don't make enough, but being able to do something at all related to what I love is amazing. I get paid to write book reviews on better days and blog posts about divorce, car door openers, and spinal injuries the rest of the time (those last few are ghostwriting gigs). I also edit submissions for immigration consultants.

    Passion project. I have a few. Creating my own writing and art is definitely one. The other is The Quilliad Press, which I'm currently crowdfunding for. I am the editor-in-chief and the person who writes all our blog posts (thequilliad.wordpress.com). We publish Canadian writers and artists and write about artists' project, small press books, and local artistic and literary events. It's exhausting and not terribly profitable, but I am obsessed. We receive such amazing submissions from people. Being a publisher definitely enriches my life.
    Writer, artist, small press publisher (editor-in-chief and founder of The Quilliad Press).

    Hi!

    My day job is as a Jedi counselor. My night job is a FireSaber performer.

    My real passion is teaching. I have a background in education and addiction recovery. I use Lightsabers as a teaching tool that helps people unlock their next level up.

    And achieve some surprisngly sweet saber skills in the process. :)

    My current passion is providing this system to as many people as possible, in order to launch an entire
    generation of effective Jedi's into the real world.

    It's working very well in the micro. Now the key is to scale up. I'm looking to form an alliance with a
    fullfillment company,

    Any leads on full service shops?

    i like the approach of "Make that thing" but they don't answer their phone or emails. Do they still exist?

    I'll be offering a really well made training saber, and the tutorial. Simple products, just need someone with the warehouse and production channels.

    And integrity.

    Thanks!

    I am an Aesthetician and own a day spa. I feel truly blessed to go to a job that I love everyday! I love my clients, my spa, my services and being able to help people look and feel better. It truly is a rewarding profession that feels like a nurturing family.

    My passion spills over with my new invention SiliSonic. I have a crowdfunding campaign going on our website via Celery that is going really well! My hope is that we will have all the funding we need by the end of the year so we can start 2016 out with a new sonic silicone facial brush designed to be ergonomic and budget friendly. Check it out on www.silisonic.com.

    I teach industrial design by day at Purdue University, and I work on my own products at night. For my own work, I like to focus on mobile technology and usability. I have pretty bad tendonitis in my wrists already (and I'm only 25) so any designs that help people to use technology more ergonomically is my true passion area.

    I just launched my first product to help with the problem of smartphone usability.

    I am a computer science student in Switzerland, and in my free time I love to work on procedural algorithms to mostly create game related stuff, likelandscapes, islands and also AI (artificial intelligence) to simulate new enemy behaviours.
    I also love to apply those to mobile games when they turn out nicely, and you can see my first Kickstarter here below.
