The Information Cube has been a waystation of computer history, and it needs a little love. Let's add some safety/space.
Hi, Jason Scott. I run textfiles.com and work on documentaries and archiving for the Internet Archive. I have a shipping container in the back of the property which i call the Information Cube and which works as a waystation for otherwise-doomed historical materials for a technology nature. A library, if you will.
A number of people have expressed concern about the quality of storage or that this item could use a little more love, so here we are. Fund this short 7-day project and I will produce a series of narrative clips describing items in the collection (and dedicating each one to a specific person who contributed) and then use this money to buy additional racks, boxes and temperature monitoring for the cube. If we go over, I'll hire a kid to help me go through it.
That's it!

You're the real Jeff Atwood and you've come to pledge your rightful place in the rewards set, only to find another man has taken your name, your identity, your life. From a warehouse lair, you train and ready not just two hundred, but two hundred and one dollars, and in a brutal assault pledge your OWN special reward. Jason will pull another "extra choice" item from the collection and record a video clip with a musical interlude (2-10 minutes) thanking you by name and describing/anthropomorphizing the item and throw on a TWIST ENDING.
Estimated delivery: Aug 2012
