Very cool!

Happy 5th Birthday Kickstarter!!! To many many more!

Yea - hard to believe they've only been around for 5 years and have already had such a big impact.

Time flies, I remember just a few years ago when a friend in school told me about this and I thought it was just a nothing site. Who knew it would found things like Oculus Rift and Veronica Mars.

That was a great post, Sal. It seems such a short period of time, but as we all know, internet/Kickstarter time feels like Double Dog Years.....so that is why it feels like 70 years ago!

Yea - the time it takes to build something awesome and meaningful is decreasing. Kickstarter proves you can do it in a few short years! Welcome back Uly! How's life?

A struggle, my friend!

Went from frying pan into the fire with the day job situation and have been focused on trying to find a much better job. . .also I have been focused on creating my website.

I just have to say that Squarespace is awesome, I highly recomend them. The templates are amazing, but offer so many choices that I would often spend hours on a shade of grey and DAYS on fonts!!!

Sadly, I am months behind where I want to be in 2014. I had planned on having a smallish campaign around now. . .that has not happned!! But, I most likely will just go all out and focus on the big project I had planned for late 2014 and hopefully some people will still remember me!

But, sadly, the work thing has sapped my joy and energy. You get so much fire from running a campaign, it would be wrong and false to throw something up--just for the sake of that feeling. The nature of my craft is this: the demands of my style do not offer a chance to "not be into it" and anything I produce displays my inner life. Art is a reflection of your inner world. . .and anything made in haste or without authenticty is nothing that should be shared, let alone expected to garner financial or emtoional support.

Yea Squarespace is pretty awesome! I haven't used them personally, but I have heard great things! Sorry to hear about your day job. Hope you find something else quickly. Yea, I would wait until you can fully devote time to it and hold off for the bigger project. Be sure to share your website with us when you have it up.

I think that success is very close to / the same as determination. These guys were probably working days and nights to build the Kickstarter platform. Same should be true for us. If you have an idea, just keep going to finish with it!

Kickstarter really has come a long way since its first days online. I think Kickstarter really paved the way for start up companies and have helped them greatly to get there idea pitched to the world!
