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 August 31, 2012.

Back up... but fresh...

Update #9 · Dec 20, 2012 · comment

Apparently YouTube killed a LOT of videos last night... no answers for why, either.

Both episodes were allowed to be re-uploaded.... which is the good news.

The bad news is that they start fresh on views and all that... right before Christmas... so help spread the word and re-watch them yourself to help regain some of that lost viewership

If YouTube ever fills me in on why or how this happened I will post it here.

YouTube issues

Update #8 · Dec 19, 2012 · comment

For no apparent reason, YouTube has yanked both episodes.

I will be contacting them in the morning to find out why.

All Kickstarter rewards that I have an address for have now been shipped.  Sorry for the slight delay.

If you like stateside and don't have it within the next week and a half, let me know.

Outside the US, give it a few weeks.

If you haven't completed a Kickstarter survey with your info, I can't send ya nothin.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, folks... and look for a new teaser trailer for Episode 2 next week.

First episode up, second already being filmed

Update #6 · Nov 2, 2012 · comment

For those who might not have seen it on my social media, the first episode of Culture x History x Attitude debuted yesterday and has already drawn significant traffic and reaction. -

The second episode also began filming last night and will continue for the next few weeks.

DBADepot.com, who bought a full-on "brought to you by" reward told me today that he saw a 40 percent increase in traffic yesterday as well.  The concept and series look to be a hit!

Rewards are packed up and ready to ship. Sorry for the slight delay there, as I've been so busy promoting the series I haven't had much time for anything else.  These will all start going out over the next 3 or 4 days.

Big thanks to all backers!  Let's roll with this thing :)

Second and final teaser trailer

Update #5 · Oct 25, 2012 · comment

Update time :)

The first teaser trailer was well received, gaining almost 9,000 views with minimal promotion.  As I was cutting a second one I got the suggestion to do it like a WWE "Titantron" video (like play on the screen behind the Superstars as they enter) so I thought it might be fun.

Here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c74s-vLYjT8

Rewards are being prepared for mailing as we speak.

Series will debut the morning of November 1.  As I get my feet wet here I plan to do these monthly to start.  I'll be filming throughout November for future episodes and already have stuff set up that I think will be great.

More soon.
