News You Can Bruise for 2012 July 2

Welcome to Monday! I have to revise a story for writing group, but first, some Kickstarter projects:

• Horsefeathers Frivolities, a handmade, natural soap company. Sumana and I like fancy soap, so why not crowdfund it?
• Project One: the Jen Oikawa Trio Debut Album. I dunno why I'll back a random jazz album but generally skip over all the rock albums on Kickstarter, even though I generally like rock more than jazz. I am more likely to like a randomly selected jazz song than a randomly selected rock song.

Time to inaugurate a new feature I didn't have last year, "cool project I'm not going to back because I really don't need the reward, but several people who read this might want to back" (better name forthcoming). Today's cool project...people who read this might want to back (say, that's a better name) is Print on Fabric Using Sunlight.

In addition, I'm on the fence about Pixel Lincoln: The Deckbuilding Game. I think my game group would enjoy it but it's just too much nerd pandering for me.
