I laughed...at first. But some people may buy it. I was suprised how much money has been put towards it so far.

to me this looks like something that's already popular in China and Japan

I would never use that because I don't trust people. Its an interesting idea though.

[Digitalgypsy66]

Could you imagine seeing someone in public wearing that? What a maroon!

[llipgh2]

I can see a lot of CMU geeks using this.

Catching a quick nap at their desks in Wean Hall between hours of programming.

[Idoit40fans]

I can see myself messing with people who use that.

[blackjack68]

Nope.

it might be ridiculous, geeky, nerdy, or anything else along those lines, but people are buying into it. Donations are up 8,000 since this afternoon.

[the wicked child]

It's to help someone get started, so yeah donations, usually you get a special edition of whatever you backed in return depending on how much you backed them for.

and it's up another 9,000 on top of that. Currently at $67,000 in donations with 3 weeks to go.
