I've been spending a lot of time on kickstarter lately. I'm considering putting one together- until that happens:


Cool stuff that's already backed and/or mentioned in the thread:

Public Lab DIY Spectrometry Kit
A build your own, buy one of ours or convert your cell phone to a spectrometer. Really cool, really nerdy idea. I want this even though I can think of absolutely zero practical uses I would have for it.

Space Elevator Science - Climb to the Sky - A Tethered Tower
Fund some robots climbing 2k into the sky. The thing I like about this is the optimism in the project. It's a little heart warming to watch the video, the guys restrained but you can tell he's passionate.

Grin - The Unauthorized Biography of a Cheshire Cat
by Adam Danielski

I'm a sucker for everything Alice in Wonderland. Even fan fiction.


Stuff that hasn't been mentioned/needs backers:

Bike Luminance: Lighting and turn signals that will be seen!
Turning and stop indicator lights in a bike helmet that react depending on the tilt of your head. Pretty sweet, but, they also make you a blinking target if drivers are trying to hit you. I can finally find out if that is the case.

Hotel Noir
A movie! It's done! It's in black and white! It's an old-timey detective story! They need money for distribution. It also has all these actors I've never heard of: Carla Gugino, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Rufus Sewell, Malin Akerman, Robert Forster, Mandy Moore and Kevin Connolly.

Except Danny DeVito is :arghfist::stonk::fh:

I'm really looking forward to this film. The ten minute preview was great, not as dark as I expected but really funny. Mandy Moore is... it's been emotisized already.

I'm also looking forward to the day I marry Malin Akerman but that will probably happen after this premiers.

This is pretty cool but how is it not a trademark violation?
