These days: I've posted a new entry to I see what you did there. I reviewed a site that you may know some about. I'm almost done with chapter 1 edits; I spent the past three days writing an extensive subsection about customer service, and I'm really happy with the way that it's turned out.
I've also been posting quite a few links about design and other topics to my Twitter account. I'd appreciate getting in touch with you there!
Tomorrow: we have only 17 days left. Which means that today, we have only 18 days left. That is not very many days. And have you seen the number up there? It's inched a tick higher, but we're not even halfway there yet.
If you - or somebody you know - pushes Cadence & Slang over the halfway point, the likelihood that we'll get to 100% is pretty darn high. Why, you ask? Because when it comes to big fundraising projects like this, people feel a lot more comfortable pledging for something that has a higher likelihood of success. Crossing the halfway point gives the impression that this entire venture is more trustworthy and substantial.
If you know any computer geeks, tell them about Cadence & Slang. If you run a weblog, write a post about Cadence & Slang. If you want to interview me to post somewhere, or if you want a personal write-up about the project, fire an email over to nickd [at] nickd [dot] org and we'll talk. This is a ludicrously critical time towards making sure that the book is fully funded - and as with all things Kickstarter, this is all or nothing. Last week: On a mostly-personal note, I accepted an offer from Groupon as their interaction designer. I start there on November 30, which is only 5 days before the end of this project. I'm extremely excited about this.
Get pumped! This is the home stretch!
This project successfully raised its funding goal on December 4, 2009.
You join the exclusive club of awesome people who support this. I send you periodic updates about my progress. I credit you in the book. I mail you 5 stickers. I owe you a handshake, should we ever cross paths.
The above, and I give you access to a private site with excerpts from the book.
The above, and a copy of Cadence & Slang Mini. Handmade, signed, and numbered by me. This is the outline of the book, with all of the rules and suggestions - only for Kickstarter backers!
The above, and I give you a free autographed copy of the book once it's released.
The above, and you give me a URL, application, etc. Then I write up two pages or so about its usability and potential future steps you can take.
Private site, book, stickers, adulation, and an original drawing from Cadence & Slang by Daniel Bogan of The Setup (usesthis.com).
The first three, and you give me a URL, application, etc. Then I write up a full report, probably around ten pages, analyzing it in detail.

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.
