Can I kick it?

Maybe I'm just a faithful millennial, but I'm a sucker for a good Kickstarter campaign.

You know, one that offers the holy quaternity:

1. An intriguing product

2. A likable entrepreneur

3. A low enough entry price

4. Enticing rewards

Such a campaign stands in stark juxtaposition to the blackout scenario I mentioned yesterday.

The incentive to act is clear: if you don't contribute, this surely life-altering product may never exist—the clock is ticking! And, if it does come to exist but you don't get in now, you'll pay extra later, like a big dummy.

The options are laid out clearly:

Tier 1: Send us a little money and receive a hearty pat on the back.

Tier 2: Send a bit more cash, get the thing. *Zelda treasure chest opening SFX plays*

Tier 3: Send more money, get two of the thing / some cool extras.

Tier 4: Send your firstborn child in exchange for a limited-edition, autographed version of the thing, plus an exclusive real-time experience with the protagonist of the campaign.

There's some fudge room there, but you get the idea of the framework.

More importantly, if you're anything like me you can easily locate the exact choice where your budget and desire coincide.

Did I mention the clock is ticking?!
