Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I'm a designer from Chicago. In late 2010, I wrote, designed, and published Cadence & Slang (http://cadence.cc), which was funded through the great generosity of folks on Kickstarter.
Congrats nickd! (now get back to work!) :)
It is deeply amusing to have both my parents on here. And my grandmother pledging. That is all.
Wrapping funding this project up are two benevolent benefactors: Louise Disabato and Deb & Bob Matusiak. Both respectfully request a book.....
Thank You, Kickstarter, For Helping Me Back Nick Disabato
Someone needs to write a book, me thinks.
So close - $136 per day left to get (if my calculations are correct) - come on pledge for as little as $1!

Thanks, Eliot! I just <a href="https://twitter.com/nickdpi/status/6144293114">tweeted</a> about it, hopefully Digg folks will come out and support.
Backers, lets help get Nick's book funded, digg it: http://digg.com/design/Upcoming_interaction_design_style_guide_book_on_Kickstarter
Can't wait until this project is finished! Sounds cool.
Looking forward to adding this to my shelf. Great to see another book combining Alexander and IxD. I'd really like to see a vocabulary of patterns illustrating a set of basic stylistic guidelines for interaction design. Could do wonders for this world's vast population of students and design-averse web developers.
Hey nickd, thanks for updating that!
Maya, I hear that - the front page has needed an update for a little while. I'm posting something new right now. Thanks!
Hey nickd, can you edit the "about this project" on the project home page to be a bit more descriptive of the book and what's in it? The info you have in there ("At the beginning of this year, I wrote an outline of the book, put together handmade chapbooks of it, and mailed them to 100 friends and colleagues") is not that interesting . . . we want to know about the content of the book, not the just process by which you're writing it. I know it's hard to summarize the book, but your supporters need something to wrap our heads around.
I'm especially interested in the "Slang" part of the book.
Good luck nickd, I look forward to reading this! That is why I opted for the special autographed copy reward!
