4/5: This was a surprising find for me on Kindle Unlimited, where most of the nonfiction books I come across seem to be Glorified Blog Posts.

This voice assistant is designed to make work, travel, and every day life easier for you.

If you are anything like me and have studied anthropology, you know that transcribing interviews can be time-consuming and headache-inducing. Thankfully, technology has advanced to where you can use tools to help with this daunting task: VoiceMojo, a portable voice assistant device, is currently funding on Kickstarter.

Along with its Text-To-Speech capabilities, the VoiceMojo can provide translations, connect your your smart home devices (such as Amazon Alexa), and turn any wired 3.5mm headset into a wireless one. In this interview, I talked with CEO and Creator of VoiceMojo, Stephen Lam about his product.

This digital frame uses special technology to make digital copies of paintings look like their original.

What role does art play in your life? Are you an artist, or maybe you collect art? Like many people, you probably prefer experiencing original paintings rather than commercial prints. One company that is seeking to change the way we interact with our art displays is Palacio Inc., whose art device, Canvia, is now funding on Kickstarter.

Using special technology, Canvia is able to exhibit paintings in a way that makes it look like the original is right in front of you. (Along with paintings, the device can show off photographs, including your own.) I interviewed the people at Palacio to learn more about what makes Canvia unique and a welcome addition to your home.

Tired of not sleeping well, two men found their answers in designing a weighted blanket, which led to the founding of LEVIA.

It is my opinion that we all need to view sleep as the wondrous and practical activity it is. Instead of relying on coffee to stay awake, we should be focusing more on getting a full night's rest. Unfortunately, healthy sleep doesn't come easy for us all. Louis von Otto and Felix Koleber from Germany saw a problem, and began LEVIA as a means to promote better sleep, keeping in mind the troubles some of us go through. In this interview, I talked with Louis about the LEVIA blanket, now funding on Kickstarter, and how this weighted blanket varies from others.

Already successfully funded on Kickstarter, Stay Awhile and Listen: Book II still has time for backers to make last-minute pledges.

The second of three books, Stay Awhile and Listen: Book II – Heaven, Hell, and Secret Cow Levels continues on documenting the history of Blizzard Entertainment and Blizzard North. It covers the release of Diablo in 1997, to 2003 when co-founders David Brevik and Max and Erich Schaefer departed Blizzard North. With the funding of Book II finishing up on Kickstarter, I interviewed author David L. Craddock about this trilogy.

I’m a naturally curious creature!

Meme Patreon?

I’ve been interested in creating a Patreon for my memes (Led Rotus for Memebenders and God Amongst Memes). I’m a freelance writer, so I spend a good chunk of my time working. Creating memes is purely for fun, so there isn’t much incentive for me to make them unless something inspires me to do so. I want to make more, but my time doesn’t allow for that.

What I’m wondering is if anyone would be interested in contributing to a Patreon, how would you like to see it set up? (If you wouldn’t even think of considering giving your support, or feel anger at the thought of me crowdfunding, I don’t want your opinions.) Would you like a monthly or per project model? For project, I’m thinking it could be a given number of memes, like 10 or 20.

What rewards would you like to see? I was thinking the $1 tier could be to see memes before they’re available to the public. (I wouldn’t be comfortable with creating memes just for those who pay.) Any behind-the-scenes stuff? Thanking backers of a certain tier for their help on the social media pages?

In short, having a Patreon would theoretically make it so I have the time to create more memes. ”Theoretically” because I would actually have to receive money from it. If this is something you would potentially be interested in contributing to, let me know your thoughts in the comments. Also, even I do decide to make a Patreon for this, it would be at least six months from now.

Awkward and uncomfortable? Bring it on!

Would you like to play a party game that will make you feel so awkward that you won’t be able to look at your friends the same way again? If yes, read on! (If no, please don’t read any further, close their browser, and pretend you never laid eyes on this page.) Making Cards Against Humanity look like Candy Land, brace yourself for Composure, the game that should end in roaring laughter, broken friendships, or divorce.

This is my interview with Albert Chou, the creator of Composure, on his thoughts regarding dealing with controversial views and how he started the game.

Is this the one-in-all backpack you've been looking for?

Think about the many different bags you own. Maybe you have one for work or school, another for hiking, yet another for trips, etc. What's holding you back from using the same bag - is it space and size issues? If so, maybe it's time to consider the first of the Breaker Bags, the Breaker One Bag , a product that has been featured on many outlets, including BackerClub and The Gadgeteer . A backpack that convert into a duffle bag, the Breaker One Bag was designed for location versatility. Whether you are a city dweller or outdoor adventurer, this single bag could be the answer to your bag-related problems. Along with being spacious and hosting many compartments, the Breaker One Bag can fit into overhead bins and under the seats on airplanes, was created to distribute weight well, and has a padded back panel with air flow channels to help keep you cool (for those hot days or when you are walking long distances). As it is currently being funded on Kickstarter , you can save at least $80 off the bag, depending on which reward tier you back. I talked with Jon Paul White, the founder and lead designer, to find out more about his inspiration and the development of the Breaker One Bag.

Media outlets are and have often been filled with stories of immigrants coming into and living within the United States, and of refugees escaping from inhospitable conditions all around the world. Lesser known are the plights faced by indigenous citizens even today. These topics are full of contention, but there is something that all people should be able to agree upon: the inspiring power of food. And this is where 100,000 Founders - A Seattle International Street Food Market enters the scene.

Media outlets are and have often been filled with stories of immigrants coming into and living within the United States, and of refugees escaping from inhospitable conditions all around the world.

These topics are full of contention, but there is something that all people should be able to agree upon: the inspiring power of food. And this is where 100,000 Founders - A Seattle International Street Food Market enters the scene. In an innovative crowd founding process comes MarketShare's first endeavor, the King Street Market. For its Kickstarter , they are asking only for $1 from each backer to help make the street food market a reality. Another aspect of what makes this project unique is that it revolves around bringing together immigrant, refugee, and indigenous entrepreneurs, embracing the cuisine they have to offer. King Street Market could open as early as summer of 2020, or more likely, in the summer of 2021, but these are projections and are subject to change. [This] is my interview with Philip Deng, the man spearheading this process.

With a few days left on Kickstarter, you can back Fianna's Awakening, and receive the ebook, audiobook, and or paperback, as well as other goodies.

It's lovely to be a bibliophile in the 21st century, isn't it? We have ebooks and audiobooks, and for those of you who prefer your hardcopies, they are still available, and in copious amounts. Ron C. Nieto, a contemporary fantasy author, takes advantage of these platforms to introduce audiences to the intricate stories that pervade her mind. In Fianna's Awakening , navigate the Celt-inspired story of Aisling and Ronan, who have to work together to ensure the Spear of Lugh doesn't fall into the wrong hands, which could put many lives and the country of Ireland at stake. The ebook, audiobook, and hardcopy are available (along with extra goodies!) for pre-order on Kickstarter , where you can support the project.

Back Lettr630 on Kickstarter to get your at-home facial tool before it's too late!

There are many legitimate reasons to visit the dermatologist or spa, including wanting to diminish clogged pores and wrinkles. But sometimes you just become too busy to visit the professionals, or it's an expense you can't afford every month. It can also be easy to forgo your day-to-day skincare routine, especially when you may not notice short-term, or even long-term, results. Perhaps, Lettr630 by Maginot is the solution to some of these problems.
