Winding down the kickstarter project means I have to find time for the next Skateboard Heroes segment. Egads! So many projects to deal with. And still the day job to deal with. Sigh.
sigh sigh sigh.
And coming up I need somebody in a cop suit, somebody in a medical uniform (or thereabouts) and I really have to make sense of my bomb baby. storyline.
Yes, I said it. Bomb baby. You got a problem with that?
Well, competition may not be the right word, but there were definitely a lot of other cool projects vying for the almighty crowdfunded dollar. I am especially drawn to a number of tech projects, many of which have no particularly useful application in my life but are nonethless neat. I didn’t see too much involving light, though. This surprised me a little because I’ve been reading a lot about alternatives to the incandescent bulb. Sure, compact flourescents leap to mind, but there are all sorts of other technologies that are still in the early (read: expensive) phases of development. LEDs have come a long way though. And related stuff like the cree xm-l. I thought that was a space ship designation in the infamous Skrull War, but what do you expect from a geek?
Maybe from now on I’ll just refer to Mad Science The Card Game as “The Science.” That sounds sort of cool as a shorthand thing. I mean, I’m usually pretty adamant about using the complete game title (Mad Science The Card Game) instead of just Mad Science because there are so many Mad Science references out in the world. I want to be clear that I’m not, say, trying to infringe on the copyright of any actual Mad Science training facility because, let’s face it, those are not guys you want to meet up with in court. But if you strike the proper analytical balance and consider all that is implied by those last three words (The Card Game) I don’t think any mistake can be made. Unless it is willful. Or unless you’re Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Yes, as in I’m gonna be rewarding some folks now that the Mad Science The Card Game project looks like it’ll be funded. I’m pretty psyched cuz that’s one of the most fun parts for me. I want to go visit everyone personally, I really do. Like, sit in their lap and say thank you thatnk you. Now let’s play the game!
So how does one say thank you thank you without the aforementioned moment of lap-sitting awkwardness. Maybe house cleaning services apex nc? Naw, that doesn’t even make sense. Especially when I have backers in far off mysterious places like Australia and Canada and… Rhode Island.
Oh, and Massachusetts. After all, the spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit of America. Now, Mad Science The Card Game is part of that spirit. Can you smell what the Science is cooking?
Or maybe I should say the FUNDING begins. Hee hee. It looks like we’re going to get our funding for the Mad Science card game. I’m super psyched about that. Now we can get on to the really fun stuff like distributing decks and setting up a launch party and making rewards. We’re doing the standard stuff like t-shirts and signed cards and stickers, but I wanted something really kickin’. Like… Mad Science the Card Game jigsaw puzzles?
Have you checked out Mad Science The Card Game yet? We’ve only got a week left on our Kickstarter and we’re so so so close to getting funded. 80% there, baby. Think what fun you can have building your own Mad Science creatures (with cards) and then battling Horrible Experiments and, eventually, each other.
The parts are unique and wacky and just so fun to play with. Sure, dna paternity testing may seem tempting when you duct tape a mummy head to a king crab body with a squid arm, a venus flytrap weapon and a mermaid tail, but let’s face it… do you really want to see the parents?
Oh, so mirthful.
Check it out while there’s still time!
Maybe it’s just me, but real estate southport nc is probably going to be seriously available in the coming months. You know, maybe all of North Carolina for that matter. I mean, it’s like supply and demand, right? There’s a definite supply, but will the demand still be there? Like I said, maybe it’s just me. But one can’t help but wonder. Right?
As in Mad Science The Card Game…
Right now the kickstarter is over 60% and we’ve got 2 weeks left. If you have any interest in this fantastic family card game, please check out the website in progress at mad.popestreet.com, view our tutorials on YouTube, and for goodness sakes, pledge already!
Seriously, a big thank you to everyone who has supported this awesome little project. We’d really like to bring it to you all.
When we had the addition put on the house, one of the best decisions we made was to install ceiling fans in all the bed rooms. They help move the air around whenever it gets stale or a little muggy, and these days, that’s huge. In the last few months in the Northeast, the weather has been crazy. We’ve been up to 90 and down below 30 in a 24 hour period. More than once.
I don’t know if Global warming is real or not, but the reality of a truly wrecked climate situation on this planet? No question. Global warming has never been my buzzword of choice, but when people start talking about “abrupt climate change” and all of the meaning loaded into that phrase, you’d better bet that I’m listening closely.
Tonight I’ll be sleeping on the ground. Well, not directly on the dirt, there will be a few layers of canvas and plastic between me and the ground, but for all intents and purposes…
Tonight is the first of several Cub Scout camping trips over the next couple months. So I will be getting pretty intimate with the inside of my Coleman 4 person quick-setup tent.
Actually, I’m not coplaining. Really, I’m not. I only camped a handful of times as a kid, so getting out there with the kids and their friends usually ends up being pretty fun. And I’m not one of those family condo tent people. I don’t get it. I’d rather have a handful of small tents than one of those massive 12 people things.
In part, I find the promise of the mega-tents a little… lacking. They advertise the separate rooms, ceiling hooks for lanterns, and some even have power supplies and such. I’m surprised they don’t have cordless roman shades and intergrated flat screens with satellite service.
Additionally, I can set up my little tent in about 5 minutes. I could easily set four of them up in a half hour. No problem. In fact, if the kids actually help we can probably shave that down. But when I watch the family tents going up, it seems to take forever and I hear a lot of muffled cursing. So I’m keeping it simple.
