It's been a fair amount of preparation to get my whole fund-raising project organized, but I just found out that Solar Roast Coffee & the Open Sun Project has been accepted by Kickstarter.com! For those of you who don't know, Kickstarter is an amazing online peer-to-peer fund-raising site that lets individuals pledge their support to projects. The projects range from arts to film to science & technology and all share in the spirit of open-source & creative do-it-yourself-ness. I'm pleased as all getup to be part of that crowd!
I'm spending the rest of the afternoon in After Effects, Lightwave, and Final Cut tweaking the short video for the website... geez, wish I had a better microphone when I was shooting. Next time!
I have nearly all the parts now to build a full "Sigma-Style" heliostat for testing. I just need band-saw blades and to clear the last of the mess out of the shop. My wife is making this week's sales calls for me at the office. (Actually, it seems like more people order coffee from a well-spoken female than from a goofy sounding scatterbrained dude like myself... go figure!)
