I really like kickstarter but let's balance out all this awesome news with a quick reminder that there are plenty of vanity projects and outright curiosities on kickstarter - like that rich businesswoman collecting money to buy her daughter a laptop. Though I can see it must be really hard for them to decide where to draw the line - even if only because of the sheer number of projects.

I don't blame them for crappy projects, they have genuinely changed the world and I hope they keep doing this into 2014 and further.
