After backing over 20 projects, I can officially say that I am obsessed with Kickstarter. I wrote a blog post about it last year in April, but so many new things have happened since then! For those who haven’t heard about Kickstarter, it’s basically a place where people can create projects to get funded. Whether they are in production or near completion, the creators are obligated to complete their project and reward Backers. Each Backer pledges a certain amount and receive different tiers of rewards. (Read More)

Lace Anchors Eliminate The Need To Tie Your Shoes

February 27th - via: coolthings.com
Tying shoelaces is no fun. Having those knots loosen while you're running, walking or shooting hoops is even worse. For the most part, we put up with it because it takes under a minute to get done. But let's be honest -- tying shoelaces is a chore we can do without. That's exactly what the Lace Anchors are for. (Read More)

Lace Anchors 2.0: A simple design for simple people
