      To thank Jim and the team for all their help with FA blogs the past few years. So much goodness (and craziness) coming out of one UMW office.

      Yes! I figured out how to adjust my pledge and mm getting the socks, too. Now for the Snuggle.

      You know what we would be really neat for the ds106kichen? A ds106 spatula!

      Creator Ben Harwood on March 30, 2012

      Aw shucks. Just realized I could've gotten a pair of socks for just a wee bit more but didn't read down far enough to select that option. :-)

      $5,800 as of this comment, wow! Forget love, ds106 is what makes the world go 'round!

      Be careful with the socks - they might be just too appealing. I heard that Blackborg is now looking to acquire ds106.

      How did you know about my fondness for socks?

      @Roland Just so you know, looked into Kickstarter a bit closer with all of this going on - since you're in Vancouver this is relevant - but Kickstarter is only available to US citizens. But, I did find various other similar services including a Wordpress plugin that you could create your own.

      Canucks out of luck.

      this is worth funding just for the comments :-)

      seriously to me as an adult outside the academy this is far more approachable. maybe use kickstarter to self fund "mini-ds106" courses say for $1k or $2k without physical swag (I'd be happy with virtual swag like badges and backer specific animated GIFs!)

      Or is Kickstarter not the appropriate venue for funding "real" MOOCs? If so what is the appropriate venue?

      I had to go for the socks - needed the socks.

      We can't edit tiers but we're about to create a new prize level. And it will be $106. Everything for the $100 tier PLUS ds106 socks. Get ready people.

      OMG, why didn't we think of that! Add #ds106socks to the $200 tier, I'll knit them myself!

      Disappointed that The Executive Macguffin Package doesn't include a field trip to Casa Bava!
