Screen Printing on the Cheap Book

Posted on by

Kind of an awkward Kickstarter title here, but it does get the point across:
Screen Printing: On the Cheap Book is a project that aims to create a DIY guide to screen printing. In their words:

This is a do-it-yourself manual that instructs how to screen print from your living space and design a semiprofessional shop on a modest budget. By utilizing cumulative knowledge from industry professionals throughout Minneapolis, it’s the most comprehensive how-to book about screen printing at home.

Right now, the project is at $6753 of their $10000 goal, with 18 days to go. This definitely seems like a worthwhile project, and if you’ve ever been interested in printing your own T-shirts or posters, you’ll want to pre-order the book and help them meet their goal.

Cheese & Crack

Being somewhat of a foodie and living in Portland, I’m going to come right out and endorse the idea of Cheese & Crack. Charcuterie, cheese, and homemade cracker in a food cart sounds like an ideal picnic lunch.

At this writing, Cheese & Crack is $161 short of their $2500 goal with 23 days to go. I’m positive they’ll make their goal, and I’m really looking forward to some artisan nosh.

UPDATE: Cheese & Crack has met their funding goal, I’m going to get to try their cart out!

XKCD put up this comic about how “meta” trend that some Kickstarter projects are developing into. Raising money to raise money to start a project. It’s like Inception only Ponzi-er. I’m talking to you, Pathfinder.
