We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 9, 2012.

Okay, now we're just past the half-way point!

Update #2 · May 29, 2012 · comment

That is, referring to cash this time, and not time. I even have another couple pledges waiting to come though, so it's likely we'll have this project about 2/3 funded with 10 days (1/3 time) left to go. 

Looks like a pretty perfect pace to me! 

But I can't count my cute little chickens before their hatched, so I'll keep working to see the drive get to the finish line. 

And equally important, I'm filling in all my nooks and crannies of spare time working on the book: ) 

Big thanks to recent donors: Chris, Koryl, Aaron, Bryan, and Robert!

    Donate a Hamilton and a Lincoln (or fifteen Washingtons) and you'll get a free copy of the ebook! This'll be a treat worth seeing with a fun blend of text, picture, a dash of video, and chances to ask questions along the way!

    For an even forty you get the ebook and a copy of the paperback! I didn't talk too much about this in the video, but it's going to be similar to the ebook--minus the footage and Internet component, of course. But with great photos and colorful writing, you'll enjoy this read with all the comfort-n-warmth of getting to flip the pages yourself.

    For a sweet sixty-five, you'll get the eBook, a copy of the paperback, and a chance to connect with me about my book, my experiences and travels, my thoughts on China--its people and their ways of life, government, educational system, natural wonders, prices, how I see them in 20 years, whatever. Heck, maybe it'll be a fruitful way to discuss some things you've done; I love hearing about others' adventures/ideas! I'll shoot you an email, and we can correspond via email or even have a conversation via Skype! : )
