***kickstarter***

Canceled my Bumm speaker backing.
Why do people make kickstarter campaigns then not respond to questions or make updates. Fills you with confidence. Ah well solemate or jambox it is then.


Also backed Snug, such a simple concept and very useful, shame shipping from states makes it expensive.

And Citivas

I wouldn't recommend backing this project. It's pretty obvious that the creator doesn't have the resources or the experience to deliver on the project.

Yep as much as I want something along the city building lines (not hamlet sized EA) the lack of information doesn't fill me with confidence. I do worry with some of these games as what you see sometimes looks like it's been knocked in Unity in a few hours with standard assets.

However, plenty of good stuff linked in this thread that I think I may have to pledge to. That titanium wallet looks rather tempting - the question now is whether I can hide the price from the wife as she'd kill me for spending that much.

Fiddling around with phone apps is a pain in the arse. I'd sooner just get up and flick a switch. It's not like we haven't survived without this facility.

Reminds me that I recently showed my wife and son how to control the TV without the remote using the button on the side of the tv.

Also showed them that the controls for sky are actually on the box as well.

It's a bug bear of mine watching someone spend 10 mins looking for the remote when the functions are already on the equipment lol

I don't use the remotes anymore* unless they are in front of me.

*small caveat I do use the ipod for controlling apple tv as it's better than than apple remote and there are no buttons on the box (design fault imho)
 
ive got a few ideas for a kickstarter project but im not a registered business or do u not need to be.

What tax do you pay I know its dependent on what you get but hows tax work for these projects?
 
I have backed a few projects and received a product from one so far:

Received:

Leverage_ The Carbon Fiber Credit Card Sized Bottle Opener
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/229989033/leverage-the-carbon-fiber-credit-card-sized-bottle

Backed:

kolstom classic: Carbon Fibre Sunglasses
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/objectiveelement/kolstom-classic-carbon-fiber-sunglasses

Instacube
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1084349160/instacube-a-living-canvas-for-your-instagram-photo

Both the other two have been delayed by several months, but I dont have any reservations about the people involved being able to deliver the products.

Really want the Omega wallet, currently suffering from Sciatica which can be caused by sitting on a big fat wallet (which I do) so would like one thats small and fits in my front pocket. Shame I have to wait until June/July to get one :(
