The first three days people pledged about $500 per day, and then
things slowed down significantly.

We only need another $465 to make our goal, so if you feel this is
worthwhile, I'd really appreciate your support!

I put up the instruction sheet for backers only, so if you pledge $1
or more, you can get early access to it, and then brutally critique me
on my paint.net skills.  MMMMmmm, fresh black and white pixels, just
like mom used to make!

If you can't pledge any financial aid, please watch the video on
http://kck.st/r0eRoK and consider passing this information on -
twitter, facebook, local technical groups, etc...

Thanks for considering this project!

-Adam
