commented on a project updateI think Chick-Fil-A owns the rights to "A Defiant Dude". You'll have to give that domain up. Sorry.

commented on a project updateWhat Tonys says. Please send a Kickstarter update with the news, too. I try to live my life and avoid wasting my time on social media. This is great news! Thanks for coming through on this. I still don't have an iPad yet, but will eventually. At least now I'll get to see the program I believed in and helped fund.

commented on a project updateI'm glad to hear you are doing so well. Great press and all that. Well-deserved! I got my copy downloaded in iTunes when you sent the access codes out, but I still don't have an iPad. Money's tight right now. Trying to finish my book and get it to the printer. Looking forward to using it though!!!

commented on a projectI believe project funding, when exceeded, is a gift to the developer to do with as they wish. I will politely add anyone considering pledging has the info of where funding currently is at (just look to your right) as well as has the option of not pledging. If the proposed project is developed as promised (in this case an app for iPad), then all is well even it funding goes one million times over. With this particular project, each pledge goes towards, at minimum, one copy of the LetterMPress app. So you could look at this like a "pre-order." By comparison, I don't think Adobe or Microsoft have ever been questioned what they do with their product sales. (On the flip side, if JB ends up selling it for less than $10 when it is released, that is up to him. You are making a pledge to get this thing out there, not making a purchase at a locked-in retail price.) Additional backing for any Kickstarter project could be used to further develop a project beyond the original proposal. In this case JB could voluntarily take LetterMPress to a whole new creative level beyond current plans (if that's possible), develop other versions of it for other platforms (Mac OS desktop anyone?), fund an advertising and marketing campaign for the app, pay prior bills for prior development time and materials before this Kickstarter project page was launched, or take a well-deserved vacation in the Bahamas (which would in effect spawn more creativity). There is also the chance that JB could have underestimated the funds needed for this project, either out of error (overrun costs) or through the desire to keep it as low as possible and hoping the 15K would be reached. Little did he know. Just some thoughts and perspectives on why it's totally okay for a project to go over. It should be welcomed.

commented on a projectAlthough this book project was unsuccessful in getting funded through Kickstarter some months back, I thought I'd post an update on its progress. Unstoppable, I have continued to move forward with the book and in December 2010 we finished the first hard-edit. This was followed with a shorter second edit in January 2011. The book is now in design, and those who are participating in a review of the final manuscript are giving it two thumbs up. My editor is a total hero, by the way. We are looking to go to print this spring (2011). It's even quite possible this project may be revived on Kickstarter for some final-stage funding assistance. To follow this project visit the new website, olliebook.com, the book blog, or join the mail list. The book is also on facebook. More often, I am posting progress and updates on the welcome page of my personal website, as well as my blog.

commented on a projectP.S. I would rather see kids messing around with this app than playing video games. LetterMpress is as much an educational tool, as it is a design tool. It instills creativity, not destruction, and you can't ask for more. As a designer, I do hope you focus on some real authenticity for output, and I know you will. Signing off now. Enough comments for one day.
