Recently, thanks to the power of Twitter, I discovered something called Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/)
One of my favorite pass times is reading comics, mostly horror comics but I read other types as well. One of my favorite comic authors is Steve Niles (http://www.steveniles.com/) you may know his name from 30 Days of Night, that was when I first discovered him, but he has done many books now and I was lucky enough to meet him a few years back at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo... I totally digress... anyway he tweeted about a project called Womanathology (http://www.facebook.com/#!/Womanthology ) and that it needed funding via Kickstarter.
I checked it out, and decided to support the project. As I have looked around the Kickstarter site there are A LOT of really cool looking projects on there in need of help. You always get something for helping (though that's not the reason for helping out). Have a look, there were quite a few other projects Id love to help fund, but sadly I need a new furnace and winter is cold in Canada.
I think it is cool that we can help fund what we love.
