Update #1: 900 To Go, Pirate Cat Interview, Inchy Goes To Burning Man (sort of...), Kickstarter On Kickstarter?

Posted on September 8, 2009

Howday y'all and welcome!

We're about 100 inches deep into this round. Here's the short URL for sharing that'll get people to the latest LOVELAND Kickstarter page: http://bit.ly/1Fea8r Old Italian adage: Why inch alone when you can inch with friends?

Some new things since the round started:

♥ Here's audio of a great LOVELAND interview from Friday with Pirate Cat Radio in San Francisco: http://bit.ly/4FZLYx

♥ Here's a fun write-up and new video of a tiny LOVELAND appearance at Balsa Man on Saturday, a mini Burning Man that happens in just a couple of hours: http://bit.ly/3wPjqI

♥ Here's some thinking (and a little wishing) about Kickstarter putting Kickstarter on Kickstarter: http://bit.ly/yYIYQ

I'll be in San Fracisco for about a week and then back to Detroit. For the next little bit I'll be spending my time between getting some word out to make sure we hit this goal, and working on Inchernet designs. Be in touch with ideas and questions.

Every day I'm hustling,

Jerry
