Flotsam and Jetsam #60

Hey, Flotsam and Jetsam is back! It’s been a while. Sorry.
The folks at Helpinator are running a Absolutely Insane FireMonkey Demo contest. I say you should give it a try.
Jason Southwell has an interesting project going over at KickStarter – NakeyMonkey. Cool idea. I’ve heard about Kickstarter, but never really seen it in action. I love the idea – great way to spread the word about good ideas. Not all good ideas need $15 million in venture capital. Perhaps you want to get in on the ground floor of the project?
Okay, only like two real items, but we will take what we can get for the first Flotsam and Jetsam in quite a while, eh?

I've funded several projects on kickstarter, never had a bad experience. (I've funded movies, books, artists who want to paint in Norway. Some of the projects can take months or years to complete. It's kinda fun to get a dvd or book in the mail from a project that you've completely forgotten about.)

I think government should be run like kickstarter, the legislative body decides what programs should go up for funding, then I get to goto a website and apply my tax dollars to the programs that I want funded. If some program doesn't get any dollars it get shut down.

No, I'm not -- why do you ask?

With a name like yours Norwegian is not the first nationality that springs to mind. But I do appreciate being able to work my way through the flags of the world when I post here.

ObOnTopic: NakeyMonkey does look quite cool. But it is reinforcing my view that while FM is cool and all the popular Delphi kids are playing with it, there's not a lot of commercial use of it yet. But the good news is that my accountant says the kickstarter should count as a tax-deductible work expense.
