That’s great news!

I don’t quite understand this whole “the entire thing must be funded by such-and-such a date or else it’s kaput”, but that’s why I do what I do and have never owned a car less than a decade old, I guess.

The $10,000 matching donation offer in the last few days of the project really saved it. When I donated, the project was about $15K short with a little more than 2 days left. I’m really glad they were able to make it by the deadline.

Brownian: Kickstarter sets it up that way so that if the person raising funds doesn’t reach their goal, then no one who has pledged up to that point is charged for their pledge, which would be wrong to do if the money raised isn’t actually enough to meet the funding needs.

But then I’d need to actually tide my coffeetable to make room for it.

I donate to every Atheist ambitious venture I can. And this one is no different.

Thanks, Martin. That makes sense.
